General Characteristics


	Style
	Your choices are...
	ATX		Devices are designed specifically for the ATX case.
	Circuit Board		Devices are circuit boards.
	Cabinet		Devices include a floor-standing cabinet.
	Desktop		Devices sit on a desktop or shelf.
	DIN Rail		Devices mount on a standard DIN rail. DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), a German national organization for standardization.
	Module		Devices are modular.
	Open Frame		Open frame power supplies have all circuitry and components exposed. The power supply is simply a circuit board where all the circuitry and components are attached on one side of it.
	Board Mount		Through hole technology (THT) mounts components on a printed circuit board (PCB) by inserting component leads through holes in the board and then soldering the leads in place on the opposite side of the board. Surface mount technology (SMT) adds components to a printed circuit board (PCB) by soldering component leads or terminals to the top surface of the board. SMT components have a flat surface that is soldered to a flat pad on the face of the PCB. Typically, the PCB pad is coated with a paste-like formulation of solder and flux. With careful placement, SMT components on solder paste remain in position until elevated temperatures, usually from an infrared oven, melt the paste and solder the component leads to the PCB pads.
	Rack Mount		Devices mount in racks and come with hardware such as rail guides, flanges, or tabs. Some rack-mounted devices fit in a standard 19” telecommunications rack.
	Wall Mount		Devices are wall-mounted.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized or proprietary styles.

	Telecommunications		Devices are used to power telecommunications equipment.
	Other		Other unlisted application.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	RoHS Compliant		Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) is a European Union (EU) directive that requires all manufacturers of electronic and electrical equipment sold in Europe to demonstrate that their products contain only minimal levels of the following hazardous substances: lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl and polybrominated diphenyl ether. RoHS will become effective on July 1, 2006.
	Search Logic:		"Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
