PCB Mount Power Supplies

PCB mount power supplies are compact AC-DC converters designed to be installed directly onto a printed circuit board, providing regulated DC power within embedded electronic systems. These units convert mains AC input into stable DC output while integrating directly into the device’s internal circuit design.

Their small footprint and board-level integration make them suitable for applications where space efficiency and simplified assembly are important.

At Ideal Power, our PCB mount AC-DC power supplies are available in multiple output voltages and power ratings to support a wide range of embedded electronics. These modules provide dependable AC-DC conversion for industrial equipment, instrumentation, control systems and specialist electronic devices.

Compact Board-Level Power Solutions

PCB mount power supplies are designed for direct integration into circuit board layouts, helping reduce external wiring and simplify product assembly. Their compact design allows engineers to incorporate reliable power conversion within space-constrained systems.

Available in single and dual output configurations, these power supplies support applications requiring multiple voltage rails within a single device.

Common Applications for PCB Mount Power Supplies

PCB mount PSUs are widely used in:

• Industrial control and automation electronics
• Measurement and test equipment
• Security and access control systems
• Embedded devices and specialist instrumentation
• Custom electronic assemblies

Their board-level mounting format supports efficient integration within compact electronic systems.

How to Choose the Right PCB Mount Power Supply

When selecting a PCB mount PSU, consider the following:

• Output Voltage and Current – Match the supply to the total power requirements of the circuit.
• Single or Dual Output – Determine whether multiple voltage rails are required.
• Isolation Requirements – Confirm whether isolated designs are needed for the application.
• Available Board Space – Ensure the module fits within the PCB layout.

Selecting the correct PCB mount power supply supports reliable AC-DC conversion and stable system operation within embedded electronic equipment.
