What is the purpose of this two pin component (circled)?
It looks to me like a jumper, but it seems strange that it would be so complex for just a jumper (that apparently does nothing). Sits between an AC input and a bridge rectifier.

Looks like you remove that part, could be interesting to see a photo of that configuration. I would guess it is for inserting a certain kind of current probe when testing, J11 designation is even weirder.

Leon Heller, If it was a fuse it shouldn't be labeled J14.

Is that the only component on the board which looks like that? Is there a similar looking one located elsewhere?

It's a solderless spade connector, soldered to the PCB.
Like this:
http://www.keyelco.com/product-pdf.cfm?p=681
(www.digikey.com Keystone: 3547)
Any suggestions on why it was used there? I thought those things were for removable ground connections, which is not the case here.
â Mast
Aug 28 at 18:47
@Mast, maybe it's used as an auxiliary power input for standalone testing of the board?
â Brock Adams
Aug 28 at 18:49
@BrockAdams Perhaps, but I'd have expected another one of those in the other AC track if that was the case.
â Mast
Aug 28 at 18:50
@Mast, it might be offscreen. Wouldn't want 2 AC lugs in such close proximity.
â Brock Adams
Aug 28 at 18:52
@BrockAdams Hah, good point.
