AC-DC & DC-DC Modular Power Supply Models

Modular Power Features & Benefits

What are modular power supplies?

Modular power supplies, which can be switching, linear, or unregulated, are simply standalone AC-DC or DC-DC power sources. Acopian’s modular power supplies come in many different sizes from very small footprint (2.5" x 3.5") Mini Encapsulated power supplies to larger benchtop, rack and wall mount models. Power source and load connections can be made using screw terminals, pluggable terminal blocks with clamping screws, lugs, solder pins, or some combination, depending on form factor and wattage characteristics. They can be mounted in several different ways including PC board, DIN rail, or by using one of Acopian’s many mounting kits to rear-, bottom-, or side-mount many of these power supplies.

Why use modular power supplies?

Modular power supplies are ideal for myriad applications because their rugged enclosures provide durable protection from harsh environments and safety from shock hazard for the user. These power supplies are also considered “low risk” as they are built using time-tested designs and currently being used in many different industries and applications. Another benefit of choosing these supplies is short lead times. Many Acopian power modules ship within 3 days of order and carry a 5-year warranty. Customers will also have a lower likelihood of encountering technical problems using these modular units, as modified-standard and custom offerings, being “one-off” or low quantity, often require some attention in their development and early stages of use.
