Ideal Power achieve engineer friendly External PSUs using the following criteria:
- Correct approvals and CE conformity for the application
- Full specification data sheets
- Technical support from the Technical Power Engineering team
- Availability of stock
- Future security of stock
- Obsolescence protection (minimum 18 months notice)
- Alternative item guarantee
- Stock holding
- Industry standard pin-out / Fit Form Function (FFF)
Bespoke Build System
Configure to meet your exact power supply requirements using the Ideal Power Bespoke Build system. This allows customers to tailor the power supply to match the needs of their application.
AC/DC Converter
AC/DC power supplies to convert a source of Alternating Current (AC) to a specified Direct Current (DC). Primary application areas include Medical, Communications, Security, Military, Industrial, Data Storage, Networking, Audio / Video and Consumer.
Suited for use in areas of high regulation or restrictions within the application environment such as hygienic or hazardous zones and devices that require wiring directly into the mains power source.
Available as industry standard Open Frame, Encapsulated and Enclosed (Chassis / Cover) configurations that incorporate industry leading topology design and modern components which achieve high efficiency.

DC/DC Converter
DC/DC power supply converters ready to convert a voltage source of Direct Current (DC) to another specified DC voltage. Primary application areas include Medical, Communications, Security, Military, Industrial, Consumer and Portable devices.
Using a combination of industry leading design and the latest component technology, Ideal Power DC/DC Converters are high density and highly efficient with some models exceeding 90% efficiency. Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), Synchronous Rectifier (SR) and Trans-Filter topology architectures are available along-side conventional hard-switching methods, encased in compact low profile Brick, Encapsulated and Open Frame housings / Chassis Cover (Enclosed).
Very low temperature operation is achieved by the special one-sided design incorporated into Ideal Power DC/DC converters. The one-sided build consists of components located on one side of the PCB instead of two. This allows for excellent dissipation of heat through the back of the PCB which acts as a large heat-sink to then be attached to a cold-plate. This means less energy is wasted, the application device runs cooler, the components can attain their maximum life-cycle along with power cost savings.
Other specification considerations comprise of Switched Mode, Regulated, Single or Dual outputs configured in a Single Inline Package (SIP) or Double Inline Package (DIP).
