Power Supplies - Board Mount

Power Supplies - Board Mount Description:

A power supply unit (PSU) is a critical component that transforms various forms of energy into electrical energy, delivering this power to an electronic circuit or device. In a computer system, the power supply is responsible for providing the necessary electrical energy to all its components. The physical size of the power supply, along with the stability of its current and voltage, plays a vital role in determining the performance and lifespan of the computer.

For a power supply to be deemed reliable, it must undergo rigorous professional testing. This testing encompasses a wide range of parameters, including input voltage, ripple noise, output short circuit protection, over-power protection, conversion efficiency, power factor, response time, operational timing, acoustic noise levels, electromagnetic interference (conduction and radiation), leakage current, and resilience to extreme temperatures.

Power supply products have a broad range of applications, extending beyond just computer systems. They are integral in industrial automation control, military equipment, scientific research apparatus, industrial control systems, communications equipment, power generation devices, various instruments, medical devices, and technology for semiconductor cooling and heating, among other fields.
