P Series
The P series power entry module offers fuller flexibility of
design in a more compact package.
As the first 10 amp module to provide all five power entry
functions in one compact design, the CHAMELEON
module readily adapts to its environment and the needs of
international markets.
• Snap-in or flange mounting
• IEC power line connector
• Both North American and European fusing capabilities
• Two voltage selections
• Optional DPST on/off switch
• Filtering options for general purpose, medical and
high-performance applications.
The CHAMELEON modules compact design and modular
construction will allow you to select the power entry
features you require — without altering the panel cutout.
And the Chameleon module, with adapters, will fit any
standard panel cutout.
The CHAMELEON module has four filter options.
S models
offer protection for general purpose applica-
tions where line-to-ground and line-to-line noise must be
controlled. The filters are designed to meet low leakage
requirements of VDE portable equipment. They are
available in current ratings of 3, 6 and 10 amps.
H models
provide susceptibility protection without leak-
age current associated with line-to-ground capacitors and
are designed to allow equipment to meet UL 544 for patient
care and non-patient care equipment.
Also available is an interconnection block,
B models.
The block connects the voltage selection terminals of an
unfiltered CHAMELEON module with a switch and an IEC
connector to reduce external wiring.
L Models
– High performance medical filter versions that
are designed to help bring most digital equipment (includ-
ing switching power supplies) into compliance with
EN55022, Level B (as well as FCC part 15J, Class B)
conducted emissions limits while additionally allowing
equipment to meet UL544, UL2601and EN60601 for patient
care equipment and non-patient care equipment. They are
available with current ratings of 6 and 10 amps. High
performance versions are available with horizontal mount-
ing ears, single voltage, complete can shield with options
for switch, fuses and current ratings only. Extenders are
not available.
Z Models
– High performance filter versions are designed
to help bring most digital equipment (including switching
power supplies) into compliance with EN55022, Level B
(as well as FCC Part 15J, Class B) conducted emissions
limits. They are available with current ratings of 6 and 10
amps. High performance versions are available with
horizontal mounting ears, no extenders, single voltage,
complete can shield with options for switch, fuses and
current ratings only.

P Series
Voltage Selection
The P series of power entry modules provides a dual volt-
age selector which is integrated with the fuseholder. To
simplify the wiring in each individual application, Tyco
Electronics provides dedicated voltage selectors for differ-
ent voltage selection schemes. The two most popular
schemes are the parallel and serial for dual primary trans-
formers and the “DPST switch” for switching mode power
supplies (jumper types.) P series products with an “S” as
the fifth digit are specifically designed for “jumper” type
applications associated with switching mode power sup-
plies. P series products with an “X” as the fifth digit are
specifically designed for dual primary transformer applica-
tions. The voltage selector installed will allow proper wiring
from these applications. No matter what voltage selection
scheme is used, wiring is always made to the same four
terminals.

Shield
A new feature available on the P series is an RF shield. The
metal shield, available on filtered models, provides shield-
ing from radiated emissions and provides an additional RF
ground for the filter to the case. The shield is available in
two versions, a shield of the filter components (designated
by A as the ninth digit) and a complete shield (designated
by B as the ninth digit). The A shield covers the filter por-
tion of the module and increases performance of the filter
by protecting the components from magnetic coupling.
This shield improves RF ground connection to the case
while still allowing the use of the P Series extender. The B
shield covers the entire power entry module with metal,
protecting the equipment from all radiated noise. Used
with the filter, the shield provides the most secure protec-
tion from RFI noise problems. The B shield cannot be used
with any extender.

Fuseholder
Another feature of the P series power entry module is a ver-
satile fusing arrangement. Its fuseholder can hold two 1/4”
x 1-1/4” or 5 x 20mm fuses. It can also be converted to
accept one fuse with a conversion clip that bridges one of
the two fuse chambers. The conversion clip is installed on
the P Series power entry modules set for single fusing
(those with part numbers with an “S” as the sixth digit).
Units with a “D” as the sixth digit do not include a conver-
sion clip.
Power Entry Modules

Conversion clip included for use in single
fuse applications.
Interconnection Block
Also available is an interconnection block (B models). The
block connects the voltage selection terminals of an unfil-
tered CHAMELEON module with a switch and an IEC con-
nector to reduce external wiring. Installation of the unfil-
tered versions of the P series involves wiring of the IEC
socket to the switch and the switch to the fuseholder. Labor
can be eliminated by ordering the product with an intercon-
nection block. This feature, designated by a BX in the sev-
enth and eighth digits, pre wires the module for easier
installation. The wiring is protected with the plastic case to
better prevent access to the terminals and connections.
The dimensions of this alternative are the same as the
filtered versions.
Interconnection Block installed in place of filer.
Accessories
A full range of accessories are available for the P Series.
To simplify customer installation wiring can be simplified by
ordering a PA100 connector assembly which is pre-wired
with 6" of wire lead.
See page 143 for a complete list of all accessories
available for this series.
