IEC Mains Inlet Socket - With Fuse and Switch

Our IEC Mains Inlet Socket with Fuse 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 your desired size, to protect your machine or device from surges, as well as a 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 15A 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 15A 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 15A 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 by our customers.
