# Astrodyne IEC 320 C14 Power Inlet Housing for V0.1
|
||||
|
||||
This mod is a replacement housing for the stock v0.1 power inlet, replacing the [Adam

-------
|

In addition to the power inlet you will also need to acquire some inexpensive 5
|
||||
mm diameter X 20 mm long 250V fast-acting fuses (see the v0 sourcing guide for details).
|
||||
|
||||
**WARNING**: I just discovered that the 082SM ("M" for "medical") has small tabs on both sides of
|
||||
the inlet (**not** shown in the datasheet). These tabs physically prevent normal C13 power
|
||||
cords (what the Brits would call "bog standard kettle cords") from fitting into the
|
||||
receptacle. I _think_ but am not yet sure that the 082S (general purpose model)
|
||||
does not have the tabs (I think they are to prevent non-certified
|
||||
cords from being used accidentally). I've ordered an 082S to verify and will
|
||||
update this README once I've confirmed.

Also, as should be obvious: You will need to acquire and insert 250VAC buss
|
||||
fuses (by pulling out the little drawer — there is a slot for the active
|
||||
fuse, plus room for a spare in the front).

Slice and print with standard Voron settings (ABS, 40% infill, 0.4mm line width,

0.2mm layer height, 5 top/bottom layers, 4 walls) but there isn't a lot of

There is no shame in printing this part with a brim (I've not added any fillets

to the front edge for precisely this reason).

**WARNING**: Both the 082S (general purpose) and the 082SM ("M" for "medical")
|
||||
models have small tabs on each side of
|
||||
the inlet (**not** shown in the data-sheet). Apparently, these tabs are intended
|
||||
to bend slightly when a C13 power cord is inserted
|
||||
into the receptacle, taking up any side-to-side play. The tabs are
|
||||
free to move on three edges and only attached at the rear-most edge. The tabs move
|
||||
**very** stiffly, however, especially for the first several insertions. I found it
|
||||
necessary to insert a tool (e.g. a letter opener or screwdriver) and gently bend
|
||||
the tabs a bit before I could insert a cord the first time.

[Just kidding. It _might_ be possible to sneak a couple of butter knives or

narrow putty knives down the sides to release the clips, but I ended up just

sawing off the test print I used to check the fit.]
