Description
PCB Mount AC Inlet Power Socket (Model: IN9)
Product Overview
The IN9 PCB Mount AC Inlet Power Socket is a high-precision, board-level electrical interface component engineered to provide a robust primary alternating current (AC) entry point directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB). Unlike traditional chassis-mount inlets that require manual panel wiring, the IN9 features specialized, rigid pin leads designed for direct insertion and wave or reflow soldering into circuit boards. This eliminates wiring clutter, reduces assembly time, and significantly lowers the potential for human error in high-volume manufacturing environments.
Molded from high-impact, flame-retardant engineering thermoplastic, the IN9 features a low-profile structural housing that ensures stability on the board surface even under the mechanical stress of repeated power cord insertion and extraction. With high-conductivity copper alloy pins, it provides a stable, low-resistance connection essential for power supply boards, control modules, and integrated electronic appliances.
Key Features
-
Direct-to-Board Solderable Pins: Features rigid, high-strength contact pins that facilitate a permanent, reliable electrical and mechanical bond directly to the PCB traces, ideal for automated assembly.
-
Compact PCB-Centric Profile: Designed with an optimized footprint for space-constrained circuit board layouts, effectively reducing the internal volume required for power entry.
-
Flame-Retardant Thermoplastic Housing: Molded from premium, non-conductive polymer (Model: IN9) that provides absolute electrical isolation and resists localized thermal buildup during continuous high-load operations.
-
Standard Grounded Configuration: Built with precise pin alignment for Phase (L), Neutral (N), and a dedicated Safety Ground (E/GND) to guarantee absolute short-circuit protection and safe system implementation.
-
High-Mechanical Stability: Engineered with anchor pegs or reinforced body geometry (Model: IN9) to ensure the socket sits flush and remains immovable during the forceful mechanical action of plugging in external AC cables.
