PC – SOURCES

Power supply units, commonly referred to as PC power supplies or simply PSUs, are the backbone of any industrial computer system, converting mains AC voltage into stable, regulated DC outputs required by motherboards, processors, and peripherals. In the industrial automation context, these units are not just standard ATX or SFX form factors; they include ruggedized, wide-input voltage range supplies (e.g., 85–264 VAC or 110–370 VDC) with active PFC, high efficiency ratings (80 PLUS Gold, Platinum, or Titanium), and protection features like overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection. They are also known as switching power supplies, industrial power modules, or DC power converters, and are critical for ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments with temperature extremes and electrical noise.

These power sources are deployed across a wide spectrum of industrial sectors, including factory automation, process control, robotics, CNC machining, and data acquisition systems. They are typically installed inside control cabinets, server racks, or embedded within machinery, powering PLCs, HMIs, industrial PCs, sensors, and actuators. In sectors like renewable energy, transportation, and telecommunications, they provide the necessary clean power for sensitive electronics, often requiring redundant or hot-swappable configurations to minimize downtime. Their robust design ensures compliance with industrial standards such as IEC 60950-1, UL 508, and EN 55022 for electromagnetic compatibility.

Within our catalog, you will find several key subcategories and product families. For example, the "MW13" series includes modular power supplies with configurable outputs, while the "RSP" series offers single-output units with high power density. Other notable series are the "LRS" for low-profile applications, "HDR" for DIN-rail mounting, and "SE" for enclosed types. Typical article codes follow a pattern like "MW13-100-24" where the first part indicates the series, the second the wattage (e.g., 100W), and the third the output voltage (e.g., 24V). We also stock specialized units like "DRP" for redundant power systems and "PSC" for power supply controllers.
