Switching power supplies, also called switch-mode power supplies (SMPS), are high-efficiency electronic power converters that efficiently provide electrical power to a load. These power supplies use a switching regulator to convert electrical power efficiently by switching on and off at high frequencies. A switching power supply incorporates components like inductors, capacitors, and transformers to regulate and stabilise the output voltage. Unlike linear power supplies that reduce voltage by dissipating excess power as heat, switching power supplies use a switching mechanism to convert power in multiple stages. This allows them to be more efficient, especially when dealing with larger voltage differences.
Switching power supplies are highly efficient, often exceeding 90%, and they generate less heat compared to linear power supplies. They are also compact and lightweight, which makes them ideal for space-constrained applications. Additionally, the versatility, adjustable output options, and reliability of SMPS make them a preferred choice for modern electronic devices and systems. Our range of SMPS includes varieties from leading brands, including Mean Well Power Supplies, among others. We carry enclosed, open-frame, U-bracket, encapsulated, and front-end packages with varied mounting types and efficiency levels.
Switching power supplies come in various types, each designed for specific applications and environments. Some common types include:
Switching power supplies are a key component in modern electronics, enabling efficient and compact power delivery for multiple devices. Some typical applications of SMPS include:
