What are DIN rail power supplies used for?

DIN Rail Power Supplies install on metal standard DIN rail, commonly used for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside industrial equipment. These power supplies come in varying Voltage and Wattages to ensure that the product offering fulfills all of your needs.

What is DIN power supply?

A DIN rail power supply is a switched-mode power supply that converts unstabilised input voltage into regulated output voltage. Switched-mode power supplies are characterised by their significantly higher efficiency and lower weight as well as a more compact design than linearly regulated power supplies (transformers).

What is a rail power supply?

A power supply rail is a supply voltage that is provides power for electrical or electronic devices or components on a circuit board. Power supply rails used for early desktop computers included +/–5 volts (V) as direct current (DC), +/– 12 volts direct current (VDC), and a common or return line.

What is DC to DC power supply?

A DC to DC power supply converts a direct current (DC) input supply to a DC output supply typically at a different voltage level. There are many different types of DC power supply converters available, which are grouped into three categories: linear DC power supplies, switching DC power supplies, and switching flyback.

What is DIN rail size?

Standard DIN Rails are available in 35mm (7.5 and 15mm deep), 32mm and 15mm widths and are supplied in 1 m (3’3″) and 2 m (6’6”) lengths.

Where are DIN rails used?

A DIN rail is a metal rail of a standard type widely used for mounting circuit breakers and industrial control equipment inside equipment racks. These products are typically made from cold rolled carbon steel sheet with a zinc-plated or chromated bright surface finish.

What is better single rail or multi rail PSU?

In terms of safety, there is no effective difference between the two types of PSUs. While some claim that higher amperage delivered across a single rail introduces risks not found in multiple-rail PSUs with lower amperage, this is not true, as we will explain below.

Where is DC power supply used?

DC power is widely used in low voltage applications such as charging batteries, automotive applications, aircraft applications and other low voltage, low current applications. All solar panels nowadays produce DC power.
