Industrial GFCI Module for Extension Cord
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Overview:
We are seeking quotations for the design and manufacturing of a GFCI PCBA for extension cord applications, which includes surge protection. The PCBA should integrate an overload protection reset button shared with the main power switch and a separate test button for GFCI functionality. The module should feature an LED indicator to display the operational status of the GFCI and surge protection.
The PCBA must comply with multiple international safety standards and certifications via CB Scheme or Global Market Access Programs, enabling efficient certification across multiple countries, including the U.S., Taiwan, Japan, Germany, France, and Australia.
Technical Specifications:
Input Voltage:
Operating range: 110V - 220V AC
Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Load Capacity:
Maximum continuous load: 15A
Control Mechanism:
SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) for power switching and fault detection.
A shared reset button and main power switch to control power and reset overload protection.
A separate test button to manually test GFCI function.
Surge Protection:
Integrated Surge Protection Device (SPD) capable of handling voltage surges of at least 6kV.
Surge protection should comply with IEC 61643-11.
GFCI Functionality:
Leakage current detection threshold: 6mA.
Response time: Less than 0.1 seconds upon fault detection.
LED Indicator:
Green when GFCI and surge protection are operational.
Red or off when there is a fault or when surge protection is damaged.
PCB Dimensions:
Optimized for compact size while supporting both SCR control and surge protection circuits.
Standards and Certifications:
UL943 (GFCI) and UL1449 (Surge Protection) for U.S. markets.
CNS 14408 and CNS 15466 for Taiwan.
JIS C 8371 for Japan.
VDE 0664, DIN EN 61008, and IEC 61643-11 for European markets (Germany, France).
AS/NZS 3190 and AS/NZS 3112 for Australia.
CB Scheme or Global Market Access:
The product must comply with CB Scheme testing standards, enabling multi-country certification, including UL, VDE, CNS, PSE, CE, and others.
Global Market Access Programs should be utilized to minimize redundant testing and certification costs across different countries.
Other Requirements:
Component Durability:
All components must have a minimum lifespan of 5 years under normal operating conditions.
Manufacturing and Assembly:
The PCBA must be fully assembled and tested before delivery.
All necessary certifications (e.g., ISO 9001) must be provided.
Documentation and Testing:
Provide complete technical documentation, including schematics, BOM, and assembly instructions.
Testing reports must be included to validate GFCI, SCR, and surge protection performance.
Production Volumes:
Initial prototype batch: 50 units.
Mass production: 1,000 to 10,000 units (please provide tiered pricing based on quantity).
