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.

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