3-108-996

Overview

The SCHURTER Inc. model 3-108-996 is a power entry module plug designed for integration into electrical systems requiring secure power connection and filtering capabilities. This component functions as part of the power line filter modules series, providing essential protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). It serves as a critical interface point for connecting equipment to the mains supply while ensuring compliance with safety standards. The unit is engineered to handle specific voltage and current ratings suitable for industrial and commercial applications, offering reliable performance in demanding environments.

Feature Summary

• Integrates EMI/RFI filtering directly within the power entry module structure
• Provides secure mechanical connection via plug configuration
• Designed for robust operation in industrial and commercial power distribution networks

Applications

• Industrial machinery power input stages
• Commercial electronic equipment mains connection
• Power distribution units requiring integrated filtering

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact voltage and current ratings required for your specific application against the official datasheet specifications before ordering. Confirm that the plug configuration matches your existing receptacle or panel cutout requirements. Ensure compatibility with local regulatory standards such as IEC or UL depending on the deployment region. Cross-reference the manufacturer's part number to avoid confusion with similar power entry modules from other product lines.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined power inlet and EMI filtering solution is needed to save space and simplify assembly. Consider the thermal management requirements of the installation environment, as filtering components can generate heat under load. Evaluate the physical dimensions to ensure fit within the designated enclosure space. Check if additional features like switches or indicators are required, as this specific model focuses on filtered power entry without auxiliary controls.

Part Context

This part belongs to Schurter's broader portfolio of power line filter modules, which are designed to mitigate conducted emissions and improve power quality. It complements other Schurter products such as fuses and circuit breakers by providing upstream noise suppression. The module is typically used in conjunction with downstream protective devices to create a comprehensive power protection strategy for sensitive electronic loads.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Users should consult the manufacturer's official cross-reference guide or contact technical support for verified alternatives that match the specific electrical and mechanical parameters of the original component.
