Looking for a DIN rail power supply?
A quick 10 point glossary of common terms used in DIN rail power supply technology.
- DIN rails: metal rails of differing profiles used for mounting PSUs within product casings.
- Efficiency: how efficiently the PSU converts input power to output power under working conditions (the ratio of total input power to output power) shown as a percentage.
- Input range: input power type, can be DC or AC, UK or universal worldwide.
- (PFC) Power factor correction: means by which current and voltage is brought into phase to reduce power consumption.
- Cooling type: means by which the temperature of the PSU is controlled.
- Built-in protection: protection against critical issues e.g. short-circuit, overload, overheating etc.
- Working temperature: specified temperature range across which the end product is required to function.
- Industrial standards: standards required for the application and by the industry sector.
- International approvals: legal safety standards a PSU must conform to, tested independently by a test house e.g. Underwriters Laboratories.
- Warranty: guarantee given for a PSU when used within its specified parameters.
