Panel Mount AC Power Male Socket With Fuse Compartment And ON/OFF Switch
The Panel Mount AC Power Male Socket with Fuse Compartment and ON/OFF Switch is a versatile and practical component designed to safely connect and control AC mains power in various electrical and electronic devices. This integrated unit combines a standard IEC C14 male inlet, a built-in fuse holder for circuit protection, and a rocker ON/OFF switch for convenient power control. It is commonly used in power supply units, industrial control panels, test equipment, amplifiers, and home appliances where a compact and secure power entry module is required.
The fuse compartment allows quick replacement of blown fuses without dismantling the unit, providing an extra layer of safety for connected circuits. Its panel mount design ensures easy installation and firm attachment to enclosures or chassis, while the switch offers a clear, reliable means of powering devices on or off.
