DC-DC Converters
A DC-DC converter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) electricity from one voltage level to another, either stepping it up or down as needed. For example, it can efficiently reduce 24VDC to 5VDC for microprocessors, ensuring the device receives the precise power it requires. This allows for optimised energy use and power distribution management in electronic systems from mobile devices to industrial machinery.
As the name suggests, a DC-DC converter cannot work with AC source, as they are specifically designed to operate with direct current inputs and outputs.
MEAN WELL has built a strong reputation over the years by providing a wide variety of DC/DC converters for many different industries, including medical, industrial, railroad, public transportation, and security systems. They offer a range of products, including Point of Load (POL) converters and traditional DC/DC converters, which can be either regulated or unregulated.
These converters can be with or without isolation between the input and output, and they come with different input ranges like 2:1 or 4:1. MEAN WELL also provides both through-hole and surface-mount (SMD) designs, making them suitable for various applications.
