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 Series DMSD: Low Profile SMD DIP Switch

DMSD – Compact Configuration. Proven Reliability.

DMSD: Low Profile SMD DIP Switch

2.54 mm Standard Pitch Design
Low {rofile
SMD Type Terminal
High Number of Cycles

The DMSD is a low-profile DIP switch featuring the industry-standard 2.54 mm pitch and
gullwing SMD terminals for reflow soldering. It is designed for address selection, communication
protocol configuration and functional parameter settings in industrial and electronic applications.

The product is available with 1 to 10 and 12 positions and uses SPST contacts. With a height of
3.6 mm, it supports space-efficient PCB layouts. Mechanical life is specified at 2,000 switching
cycles with an operating force of ≤ 8 N. The operating temperature range extends from -40 °C to
+85 °C. Initial contact resistance is ≤ 100 mΩ and remains ≤ 200 mΩ after the specified
reliability tests.

Typical applications include industrial automation, building controls, servers, medical devices,
robotics and consumer appliances. Common use cases are address configuration, RS485 and
Modbus settings, BIOS/CMOS configuration and functional parameter selection. The
standardized form factor and footprint enable straightforward integration into existing hardware
designs.
