What is this IEC socket???

[djnagle]

I always use the normal male IEC socket on stuff but have seen this type (in the picture) and don't know anythink about it. Is there "stuff" in the box that does something worth investigating???

It's got a built in circuit breaker i believe. Note the total absence of fuses anywhere under the hood.

A little sleuthing suggests it is equipped with a power switch, fuse, and EMI filter. There are so many kinds and combinations that reading that label is the only way to be sure.

Cool. That might be something to use in future projects. I like the all in one feature.

Thanks guys.

I've used the filter type, but not the breaker or fuse type. I'm a bit picky about my breakers and fuses, which is stupid, I know.

Thanks Jay. I will say the same about you. On other sites, if I ask a questions, it is more often than not, that the long time members are the grimudguns (sp). I am building a BOM for my GM70 amp that I hope to complete by the end of this month and added 3 of these IEC sockets just to have in inventory.
