Information about AC-DC Adapters

AC/DC adapters accept AC input voltage directly from a wall outlet, and output DC voltage. The primary configurations are wall-mount, where the adapter unit plugs directly into a wall and the DC lead then goes to the DC device, and desk mount, where the adapter unit is in-line between the AC plug and the DC output. Many DC devices use this type of adapter or power supply such as household items, printers, low-voltage DC boards, etc.

AC Power Sources

AC power sources provide alternating power and typically have adjustable output values for the testing of component response at various voltage, current and frequency levels.

Computer Power Supplies

Computer power supplies convert alternating current (AC) line to direct current (DC) line, needed by the computer.

Current Sources

Current sources provide reliable current for electrical component testing and for powering specialized components.

DC Power Supplies

DC power supplies accept an input power and output the desired form of DC power. Common types of DC power supplies include linear power supplies, switching power supplies, DC-DC converters, and silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) type power supplies.

DC-AC Inverters

DC to AC inverters are used for converting direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC). They are also known as DC to AC converters.

DC-DC Converters

DC-DC converters accept DC input and provide regulated and/or isolated DC output in various applications including computer flash memory, telecommunications equipment, and process control systems.

RF Generators

RF generators and high frequency power supplies provide the power required for plasma generation, induction heating, and radar or communications applications.
