The 3-101-786 is a power entry module manufactured by Schurter Inc. Power entry modules combine several functions into a single component, typically including an IEC inlet, a fuse holder, and sometimes a voltage selector or a power switch. This simplifies the design and assembly of electrical equipment.

Additional Details

The 3-101-786 is designed to accept a standard IEC power cord. The fuse holder protects the equipment from overcurrent conditions. The power entry module is typically rated for a specific voltage and current, which should be selected based on the requirements of the equipment. Schurter provides datasheets with detailed specifications and drawings for their power entry modules.
