IEC C20 inlet mounts on boards efficiently

For efficient mounting in applications where power components are board-mounted, the GSP4 IEC C20 appliance inlet can be easily sandwiched between split enclosures and tested before it is installed in the equipment. Equipped with PCB terminals for L, N, and E, and a 6.3 x 0.8 mm quick-connect or solder tab for additional grounding to the chassis, the inlet can be securely snapped in or screwed on to a printed circuit board before soldering. This is achieved by means of robust stabilizing posts, which also serve to absorb withdrawal and insertion force.

Rear mount styles are also available with or without mounting ears and an optional back cover is available for protection against accidental contact. The GSP4 is compatible with V-Lock cord sets and can also be supplied in a Protection Class II version, IEC C24 style inlet. Pricing starts at about $1.97 each for 100 pieces.
