The part number **10VS4-GD6-R** refers to a specific type of **IEC Inlet Filter** (or Power Entry Module). These components are critical in electronics for power management and suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI). --- ### 1. General Specifications Based on the standard nomenclature for this series, here is the technical breakdown of the part: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Component Type** | EMI/RFI Power Line Filter | | **Connector Type** | IEC 320-C14 (Male Inlet) | | **Current Rating** | 10 Amperes | | **Voltage Rating** | 115/250 VAC | | **Mounting Type** | Snap-in or Screw Mount (Series dependent) | | **Termination** | Solder Lug or Quick Connect (Faston) | | **Filter Stage** | Single Stage / General Purpose | --- ### 2. Part Number Breakdown The code can typically be deciphered as follows: * **10**: Indicates the rated current (**10 Amps**). * **VS**: Refers to the series type (often a multi-function power entry module with a switch or fuse holder). * **4**: Often denotes the mechanical configuration or the specific type of filter circuit (e.g., standard vs. medical). * **GD6**: Usually refers to the output termination style (e.g., 6.3mm tabs) and the specific grounding configuration. * **-R**: Typically signifies compliance with **RoHS** (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) standards. --- ### 3. Key Functions The **10VS4-GD6-R** serves three primary purposes in an electronic device: 1. **EMI/RFI Suppression**: It filters out high-frequency noise from the power line that could interfere with sensitive electronics, and prevents noise from the device from leaking back into the grid. 2. **Power Connection**: It provides a standardized IEC-C14 port for a detachable power cord. 3. **Safety**: It often includes internal components like capacitors (X and Y types) and inductors (chokes) to manage transient voltage spikes and ground leakage. --- ### 4. Common Applications * **Industrial Equipment**: Controlling motor noise or heavy machinery interference. * **IT Infrastructure**: Servers, routers, and high-end workstations. * **Test & Measurement**: Oscilloscopes and laboratory power supplies requiring clean signals. * **Medical Devices**: If configured for low leakage (though standard versions are for general use). ---
