The **M2AC-A11-R** is a specific part number belonging to the **M2 series** of industrial hardware, typically associated with **Delta Electronics** (specifically within their industrial automation and power supply components). Below is a detailed breakdown of its technical specifications and electronic characteristics. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications Table | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Product Type** | AC Power Socket / Inlet Module | | **Connector Standard** | IEC 60320 C14 | | **Current Rating** | 10A (Varies by certification, usually 10A/15A) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC | | **Termination Style** | Solder Tab / Faston Terminal | | **Mounting Type** | Panel Mount (Snap-in or Screw) | | **Operating Temperature** | -25°C to +70°C | --- ### 2. Key Electronic Components & Features #### A. Power Inlet (IEC C14) The core of this part is an **IEC 60320 C14 male connector**. This is the standard "kettle lead" style input found on computers, laboratory equipment, and industrial machinery. It acts as the primary interface between the external AC power cord and the internal circuitry. #### B. Integrated Protection (Optional / Series Dependent) While the base M2AC model is a connector, the "A11" suffix often indicates specific internal configurations: * **Fuse Holder:** Many units in this series include a built-in compartment for 5x20mm glass or ceramic fuses to protect the device from overcurrent. * **EMI Filtering:** Some variations include a small PCB with capacitors (X and Y caps) and a common-mode choke to reduce electromagnetic interference. #### C. Housing Materials * **Thermoplastic UL94V-0:** The body is made of high-grade flame-retardant plastic. * **Copper Alloy Contacts:** The pins are typically nickel-plated or tin-plated copper to ensure high conductivity and resistance to oxidation. --- ### 3. Pinout & Connectivity Typically, the rear of the module features three terminals: 1. **Line (L):** Connects to the "Hot" wire. 2. **Neutral (N):** Connects to the return path. 3. **Ground (E/G):** Connects to the chassis or system ground for safety. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Industrial Power Supplies:** Used as the main power entry point. * **Medical Equipment:** High-reliability versions are used in diagnostic tools. * **IT Infrastructure:** Servers and networking hardware.
