What is a Power Inlet Module?

A power inlet module is a device that combines multiple functions into a single unit to control power entry. They can provide circuit protection in two main paths: fuses or circuit breakers. Both lower the chances of harming the equipment or causing the end user physical injury. The inlet is the conduit for providing power with a detachable cord set. The most common means of connecting cable to equipment is via the IEC 60320 (C14, C13, etc.). The inlet contains blades for receiving a cord.

Why Choose E. Preston?

We have been operating for over 42 years as a distributor and wholesaler of electric and electronic components since our inception in 1980. We have grown considerably since those early days, a growth that we believe is attributable to our high standards of customer service which have always been part of the experience of dealing with E Preston.

We have a slightly old-fashioned approach to customer service which entails doing simple things such as ringing a customer back when you said you were going to ring them back, and following through on any promises.

Our service also entails providing you, the customer, with providing expert advice and assistance on the products we sell and their uses and applications.

We stock and distribute power inlet modules from industry-known brand names such as Arcolectric, Bulgin, Schaffner and Schurter. Our range of modules is second to none. Where required, we will do our upmost to ensure that you receive your order for next day delivery.

Our premises are in Dukinfield, Cheshire but we send orders to the whole of the UK and beyond.

Do you need more flexible payment terms? Talk to us, and we can potentially provide that too.

Schurter SMT: Dip Switch

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switches for Space-Critical Applications

SMT Half Pitch DIP Switch
DTCD, DTCJ

1.27 mm half pitch for space saving
2.2 mm low profile design
SMD type terminal
High number of cycles

The DTCD and DTCJ 1.27 mm pitch DIP switches are ultra-miniature SMD components designed for high-density electronic applications. With a low profile height of just 2.2 mm and up to 46% PCB space savings compared to traditional 2.54 mm solutions, they enable significant footprint reduction without compromising functionality.

Available in Gullwing and J-bend terminations, both versions are optimized for automated SMT assembly, reducing manufacturing complexity and cost. The switches support up to 1000 mechanical cycles and operate reliably across a temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C. Low contact resistance (≤100 mΩ initial) and stable electrical ratings (up to 100 mA @ 50 V) ensure consistent signal performance.

Typical applications include address setting and configuration in industrial controls, communication systems (e.g., RS485/Modbus), server hardware (BIOS/CMOS), consumer appliances, and medical devices. Combining miniaturization, durability, and cost efficiency, DTCD/DTCJ provide a scalable solution for modern compact electronic designs.
