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.

What Do We Supply?

We supply a broad range of power inlet modules, including:

Power inlet modules

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 STTP 9550: Three-Terminal Fuse

Schurter Three-Terminal Fuses (STTP) for Battery Systems

Intelligent Fuse Solutions for Battery Systems

Ultra-Low Contact Resistance for High Efficiency
High Contact Reliability for Low Signals
Enhanced Wear Resistance for Long‑Term Contact Integrity
Supports Miniaturization and High‑Power Density Design

The Schurter three-terminal fuses STTP 9550 combine conventional overcurrent protection with an actively triggered overcharge protection function, providing an additional layer of safety for lithium-ion battery systems.

In addition to current-dependent interruption, the integrated trigger terminal enables controlled activation in critical operating conditions. This allows reliable disconnection of charge and discharge paths even in the event of protection IC or FET failure.

Gold-plated terminals ensure low and stable contact resistance, high signal integrity, and
excellent corrosion resistance. The compact package supports high-power-density battery pack
designs ranging from 1 to 24 cells.

Applications:
Typical applications include energy storage systems, power tools, UPS equipment, e-bikes, e
scooters, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Supported by UL approvals and designed for
redundant protection architectures required by modern battery safety standards, three-terminal
fuses provide a robust and intelligent protection solution for advanced energy systems.

Schurter PPTC Resettable Fuses: Compact Protection for Maximum Reliability

PPTC: Compact Protection for Maximum Reliability

The new PPTC series PFTA, PFTB, PFTC and PFTL provide reliable resettable overcurrent
protection for modern electronic applications. In the event of a fault, the polymer PTC device
automatically increases resistance to effectively protect systems against overloads and short
circuits — without replacing fuses.

The portfolio includes radial leaded and SMD versions with current ratings from 0.05 to 5 A and
voltage ratings up to 72 V. UL-compliant flame-retardant materials and compatibility with
automated assembly processes make these series ideal for industrial high-volume applications.

Applications:
Typical applications include energy storage systems, power supplies, industrial electronics,
consumer electronics, automotive systems, wearables, SSDs and Li-ion batteries. The compact
PFTL SMD series additionally enables space-saving designs with high integration density.
