Waterproof × Wide Temperature Support: Solving the "Hard-to-Find Power Supply" with Customization - FA Equipment Manufacturer Case Study

Achieve IP-rated waterproofing, -20~+60°C operation, and high output simultaneously with a semi-custom AC/DC Power Adapter that leverages existing assets. We present a case study of an FA equipment manufacturer that succeeded in mass production with zero changes to equipment design.

"There’s no AC/DC Power Adapter with IP waterproof specification, -20 to +60℃, and high output..."Are you facing this challenge?

Many FA equipment manufacturers face the barrier of "harsh environments x high power."

This time, we introduce a case where our "semi-custom power supply" solved a situation in which existing lineups did not meet the required specifications and major equipment modifications seemed unavoidable.

Challenges Before Implementation

Standard products cannot simultaneously meet **IP waterproof** and **wide temperature range (-20 to +60℃)**
**Equipment design changes** are unavoidable due to insufficient output
Risk of missing the new Products release schedule

Our Solution

Step	Action	Effect
1	Leveraged our existing 24V adapter lineup as a base	Minimized initial costs and lead time
2	Designed a waterproof enclosure with a new mold	Ensured IP rating while maintaining optimal size
3	Partially replaced components to support wide temperature range	Maintained rated output even at -20 to +60℃

[Key Point] Instead of "full custom," we maximized the use of existing assets to achieve both cost efficiency and fast development!!

Results After Implementation

Started mass production on schedule with zero changes to equipment design
Handled additional specifications with short lead times using stocked components + new enclosure
Solved the issue of "limited options" with a one-stop solution

"Development that had been delayed due to power supply constraints has rapidly moved forward!"

Do You Have These Challenges?

Need waterproof/dustproof, wide temperature range, medical safety standards, or other requirements that general-purpose products cannot meet?

Want customization even for small lots and short lead times?

Want to upgrade only the power supply without modifying existing equipment?
