IEC Mains Inlet Socket - Unwired V1

Our IEC Mains Inlet Socket with Fuse Slot and Switch is a simple yet effective tool for machines and devices that require fused and switched power sources, and can connect directly a main power source of 250V AC. This socket includes a space to fit a fuse of 250V at whatever Amperage you need, to protect your machine or device from surges, with an onboard switch to easily enable or disable the flow of electricity.

The plug is compatible with the standard IEC or computer/kettle plug, and can be mounted into a wall or table with screw holes on either side of the fuse area. The fuse area can be conveniently removed by leveraging it with a screwdriver, and fits snugly between the switch and socket so it can’t be moved while anything is plugged in. The socket has a rated capacity of 10A at 250V AC, while the switch is rated at 6A at 250V AC.

Typical Applications for the IEC Mains Inlet Socket:

Although the switch is rated at only 6A capacity, this IEC Mains Inlet Socket with Fuse and Switch is capable of a capacity of up to 10A at 250V AC if the switch is simply bypassed. This allows you to put in a fuse of similar capacity if necessary, to power and protect machines or devices requiring up to 10A at 250V AC – which is typically more than enough for standard Electronics applications.

As a final note, this unit does not come with a fuse, since these units are used for a wide range of different applications that may require unique or specific fuses.
