The LZ-F-M is a compact, snap-in type American power socket module designed for secure and efficient electrical integration in a wide range of devices and enclosures. It features the standard NEMA 5-15 configuration, accepting the common North American flat-blade plugs (Type A and B). Its primary design is for panel mounting, where it cleanly snaps into a pre-cut rectangular opening, providing a fast, tool-free installation that eliminates the need for additional screws or mounting hardware. This makes it an ideal component for appliances, power strips, industrial control boxes, laboratory equipment, and consumer electronics where a built-in, flush-mounted AC inlet is required.

Constructed with durable, high-quality materials, it ensures excellent conductivity and long-term reliability. The socket contacts are typically made of phosphor bronze for superior spring tension and low resistance, while the housing is made of heat-resistant and flame-retardant thermoplastics, such as PC or ABS, compliant with UL 94V-0 standards. The “UL Approved” marking signifies that the component has been rigorously tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories to meet stringent safety standards for the United States and Canadian markets, covering aspects like electrical insulation, current-carrying capacity, temperature rise, and mechanical strength. This certification is crucial for manufacturers aiming to achieve overall product compliance for sale in North America.

Key advantages of this snap-in socket include its space-saving design, ease of assembly which reduces production time, and a professional, finished appearance. The snap-in retention clips ensure a tight, rattle-free fit in the panel. Furthermore, its design often incorporates safety shutters on the live and neutral slots to prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects, enhancing protection. By specifying the LZ-F-M UL-approved socket, engineers and designers can streamline their product development, ensuring a reliable, safe, and standards-compliant power connection interface for end-users.
