Green Switch IEC Inlet Filter Illuminated Power Entry
If you’re sourcing power entry modules for industrial equipment, medical devices, or professional AV/IT enclosures, this is the kind of component that earns its place on your BOM without causing headaches down the line. The CW2C-10A-T combines an IEC C14 inlet socket, an EMI filter stage, a fused dual protection circuit, and a large illuminated green rocker switch — all in one compact, panel-mount package.
It’s a 3-in-1 solution: power inlet + EMI filter + master switch, cleaned up and ready to drop into your panel cutout. No extra wiring harness. No hunting for separate switch bezels. Less assembly time. Less room for error on the production line.

What You’re Actually Getting — From the Image
From the unit shown, here’s what’s visually confirmed and technically relevant to your sourcing decision:
- IEC C14 male inlet (top face) — standard international connector, compatible with C13 power cords worldwide
- Large green illuminated rocker switch (front face, center) — the green glow serves as a live power indicator, which is a practical feature for end-users operating equipment in dim environments
- Dual fuse holder (left side slot visible) — drawer-style, tool-accessible, fast-swap without powering down surrounding systems
- Metal housing body — brushed aluminum/steel shell for heat dissipation and shielding effectiveness; the black plastic front bezel gives it a professional finish
- Circuit label on side panel clearly shows:
- Rated: 110V / 250V, 50/60Hz
- CX: 0.1µF | CY: 2×3300pF | L: 2×0.3mH
- CE and RoHS markings confirmed
- Model: CW2C-10A-T

Why the Green Switch Actually Matters
A lot of buyers overlook the switch color until their end customers start asking questions. Green = power ON status indicator. It’s an intuitive, internationally recognized signal — especially important in:
- Medical and lab equipment where operators need instant visual confirmation of power state
- Industrial control panels with multiple power zones — green tells the operator this circuit is live
- AV racks and broadcast equipment where ambient lighting is often low
- Telecom enclosures for quick status checks during maintenance
The illumination isn’t just aesthetic. For equipment destined for CE-mark compliance in Europe or UL environments in North America, a clearly visible power indicator is often part of the UI/UX safety requirement in the product design spec.
Built-In EMI Filtering — Why It’s Worth More Than You Think
The integrated LC filter stage (CX + CY capacitors + dual common-mode choke) handles both differential-mode and common-mode noise suppression. This matters for your downstream customers because:
- Reduces conducted EMI from the mains line before it reaches your equipment’s internal circuitry
- Protects sensitive analog or digital boards from line transients and high-frequency interference
- Helps your finished product pass EN 55032, CISPR 22, and similar EMC pre-compliance tests more cleanly
- One filter inlet replaces multiple discrete components — saves PCB real estate and BOM complexity
In practice, engineers who have used discrete filter + inlet + switch combinations report that switching to an integrated module like this typically reduces assembly time by 15–25% per unit and cuts down on wiring inspection failures.
Fuse Protection — Single or Dual Option
The dual fuse configuration (double-pole protection) breaks both Live and Neutral lines simultaneously — a requirement in many European safety standards for certain equipment classes. For buyers in markets with strict regulatory oversight (EU, UK, Australia), specifying the dual-fuse variant from the start saves costly redesign later.
Fuse drawer is front-accessible, which your end customers’ service technicians will appreciate — no need to open the enclosure for a routine fuse swap.
Who Buys This Component (Target Applications)
- Industrial automation equipment manufacturers — servo drives, PLC enclosures, motor controllers
- Medical device OEMs — diagnostic equipment, imaging support devices, lab instruments
- AV and broadcast equipment builders — rack-mount amplifiers, mixers, signal processors
- Telecom & networking enclosure manufacturers — edge computing nodes, power distribution units
- EV charging equipment and power supply manufacturers
- Test & measurement instrument makers
If your product needs a clean power entry point with noise suppression and a visible power switch in a single panel cutout — this is the part.

- Lead time: Standard models typically ready in 7–15 business days; custom configs quoted individually
FAQ
Can we get custom current ratings or switch configurations for our specific product line?
Yes. We offer the CW2C series from 1A through 10A. Switch type (illuminated/non-illuminated), switch color (green/red/blue), and fuse configuration (single/dual) are all configurable. Share your spec sheet and we’ll confirm feasibility within 48 hours.
Are CE and RoHS certificates included, and can we get test reports for our own compliance dossier?
CE Declaration of Conformity and RoHS compliance documentation are standard with every order. Hi-pot test records and batch quality reports are available on request — useful if you’re building a technical file for EU market access.
What’s the panel cutout dimension, and is it compatible with standard IEC inlet cutouts we’re already using?
The CW2C-T uses a standard IEC C14 panel-mount footprint. If you’re currently using any conventional IEC inlet in your design, this unit is a drop-in replacement dimensionally. Send us your current cutout drawing if you want us to confirm fit before you order samples.
What’s the MOQ, and do you support sample orders for engineering evaluation?
We support sample orders for qualified buyers. MOQ for production runs is flexible based on configuration — standard models have lower MOQ than custom variants. Contact us directly to discuss your project volume and timeline.
How does the integrated EMI filter perform compared to a discrete filter + inlet setup? Will it help us pass EMC testing?
The integrated filter stage is designed to meet the attenuation requirements relevant for most Class B industrial and consumer equipment. While we can’t guarantee your final system will pass EMC without knowing your full design, customers consistently report that switching to this module simplifies their EMC pre-compliance process. We can provide filter attenuation curves on request.
