Product type
A Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an electronic power supply that uses a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently. It operates by switching the input voltage on and off rapidly, which allows for the regulation of output voltage and current. SMPS units are typically constructed using components such as transformers, inductors, capacitors, and various semiconductor devices, including diodes and transistors. They are known for their compact size and lightweight design compared to linear power supplies.
| Input voltage range | 100V to 240V AC |
| Output voltage range | 3V to 48V DC |
| Efficiency | Up to 90% or higher |
| Operating temperature | -20°C to 70°C |
| Protection features | Overvoltage, overcurrent, and thermal protection |
| Form factor | Open frame, enclosed, or modular |
When selecting an SMPS, consider the input and output voltage requirements for your application, as well as the total power output needed. It's important to specify the efficiency rating, as higher efficiency can lead to reduced energy costs and heat generation. Additionally, check for necessary protection features to ensure reliability and safety in your application. Certifications such as UL or CE may be important depending on the industry standards you need to comply with.
