The **AAC-AC132-R** is a specific electronic hardware component, typically identified as a **Right-Angle AC Power Inlet** or an **IEC C14 Power Connector**. These parts are foundational in power supply design for electronic devices. --- ### 1. Key Technical Specifications Below are the typical electronic and mechanical characteristics for a connector of this series: | Property | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Connector Type** | IEC 60320 C14 (Male Inlet) | | **Orientation** | Right-Angle (R) | | **Current Rating** | 10A to 15A (Voltage dependent) | | **Voltage Rating** | 250V AC | | **Mounting Type** | PCB Mount or Panel Mount | | **Contact Material** | Copper Alloy (usually Tin or Nickel plated) | | **Insulation Resistance** | 100MΩ Min at 500V DC | | **Dielectric Strength** | 2000V AC for 1 minute | --- ### 2. Breakdown of Components The "Electronic Parts" of this assembly consist of three primary functional areas: #### A. The Housing (Insulator) * **Material:** Usually made of Thermoplastic (UL 94V-0 rated). * **Purpose:** Provides structural integrity and electrical isolation between the three pins (Line, Neutral, and Ground). #### B. The Terminals (Pins) * **Configuration:** 3-prong (Standard IEC C14). * **Function:** Conducts high-voltage AC current from the external power cord into the device's internal circuitry. * **Electronic Connection:** The "Right-Angle" designation means the pins exit the housing at a 90-degree angle, allowing for a lower profile on a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). #### C. Mounting Features * **Solder Pins:** Directly soldered to the PCB traces. * **Retention Clips:** Many versions include plastic or metal snaps to hold the part securely to the chassis during the plugging/unplugging of cables. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases This part is commonly found in: * **Small Form Factor PC Power Supplies:** Where vertical space is limited. * **Audio/Visual Equipment:** For internal power routing. * **Industrial Controllers:** Providing a standardized AC input interface. --- ### 4. Safety and Compliance As an AC power component, the AAC-AC132-R must adhere to global safety standards to prevent fire or electrical shock: * **UL/CSA:** North American safety certifications. * **VDE/TUV:** European safety standards. * **RoHS:** Restriction of Hazardous Substances (Lead-free compliance).
