What are Board Mount Power Supplies?

Board-mounted power supplies are power modules that are mounted directly on circuit boards and are mainly used to provide stable voltage and current to electronic devices. Their small size and high efficiency make them suitable for embedded systems and space-constrained application scenarios such as industrial control, communication equipment and consumer electronics.

Applications of Board mount power supplies

Board mount power supplies are used in many different areas where a reliable and efficient DC power source is needed. Here are some common uses for board mount power supplies:

• Industrial Automation
• Telecommunications
• Medical Devices
• Computer Hardware
• Consumer Electronics

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an on-board power supply?

The term "on-board electrical system" refers to all the electrical and electronic components found in vehicles, like cars. It’s a general term used for almost any type of transportation.

How should a power supply be mounted?

You should mount the power supply with its ventilation top cover facing DOWN. This way, the fan will pull in warm air from inside the computer case and the power supply will expel the air out the back.

What does a power control board do?  

The power control board conditions the DC power to shield the CCD from overvoltage spikes.
