IEC inlet connector / AC power entry module

Or as the connector in question has an integrated line filter, the net result can be called a 'power entry module'.

A power entry module is an electromechanical component used in electrical appliances and electronic equipment, replacing a power inlet connector and one or more other components. They can be helpful in saving space and cutting manufacturing costs.

Power entry modules (sometimes abbreviated to PEMs, see [1] are used to save labor in manufacturing electrical and electronic equipment powered by an external source, such as the AC powerline. They are also quite compact, taking up a small amount of space on the equipment’s chassis, or printed circuit board.

AC power entry modules usually include IEC 60320 AC appliance inlets and accept power cord connectors designed to the same standard due to their wide acceptance. (These household devices and portable equipment are covered by IEC 60950.) Other components commonly found in power entry modules include line switches, fuse holders, circuit breakers, EMI/RFI line filters (designed to IEC 60939) and shields and IEC 60320 power outlets. As many as four or more components can be integrated into a power entry module.
