Power Inlet Sockets With Switch

IEC C14 power inlet module with switch, providing an integrated inlet solution of "connection + control + protection" for equipment power distribution

An AC Power Inlet Socket with Switch is not only an ordinary "socket"; it is a functional module serving as the power entry point for equipment. It integrates an IEC 60320 C14 standard inlet with a rocker switch. This allows equipment manufacturers to realize both AC power input and on-off control through a single cutout on the panel, cutting down assembly steps for separate switches and internal wiring. Typical purchasing decision-makers care about more than just whether it can be plugged in. They focus on temperature rise performance under rated current, the electrical life of the switch, the stability of contact resistance of the contact plating after repeated plugging and unplugging, and whether it holds all required certifications for the target market.

• Contact System Copper alloy contacts with optional plating define long-term reliability. Budget tin plating wears quickly, causing oxidation, higher resistance and hot spots. Our standard is tin-plated for cost and solderability; premium nickel-underplate plus gold plating delivers stable low resistance for frequent mating, low signals and high-reliability uses. Mating-cycle resistance data is available on sample request.
• Rocker Switches Single-pole cuts only live (L) for general use. DPST cuts both L and N for safer maintenance, humid conditions and leakage-sensitive gear. Prioritize DPST for Europe and medical projects. Both versions are offered; double-pole units have dedicated arc chambers to reduce erosion with 10 A / 250 VAC inductive loads.
• Integrated Snap-in Structure Combined inlet and rocker switch needs just one C14 panel cutout, removing extra holes and wiring. Snap-in fits 1.0–2.0 mm panels, screw-free for mass production. Screw mounting offers stronger retention for vibration and frequent service, covering consumer through industrial devices.
• Flame-Retardant Housing & Quick-Connect Terminals UL 94V-0 nylon housing self-extinguishes on heat removal. Standard 4.8 × 0.8 mm quick-connect terminals accept common flag terminals; crimp-only assembly avoids cold-solder defects and speeds up production.

Widely used in power distribution units (PDUs), industrial control cabinets, test and measurement instruments, audio and video equipment, and IT/telecommunication systems, this type of product is a critical safety component in the equipment BOM featuring a low unit price yet high reliability priority.
