Support for multiple models and stable supply system
UNIFIVE provides integrated support from specification information gathering to design, development, mass production, supply, and post-shipment maintenance. Based on this in-house integrated system, we achieve both support for multiple models and individual specifications and stable supply.
Capability to support multiple models and individual specificationsPower supplies are critical safety components, and in many cases, simply applying a standard product is not sufficient for adoption. UNIFIVE provides integrated support from organizing specification information to design, development, mass production, supply, and post-shipment maintenance, based on each customer's requirements and evaluation criteria. Approximately 1,500 new models developed annually and approximately 15,000 sample units shipped annually. In addition to supporting individual specifications, we flexibly handle everything from small-lot custom and semi-custom production to large-lot mass production. Furthermore, our in-house production system and domestic and overseas network support stable supply and short lead times. System supporting stable supplyBased on our in-house production system and domestic and overseas network, we have established a structure that covers raw material procurement, logistics, and post-shipment maintenance. We also handle projects requiring short lead-time switching or replacement, ensuring continuous supply. | ![]() |
Quality assurance system covering all processes
UNIFIVE manages quality across all processes, from specification information gathering to design, development, mass production, and post-shipment maintenance. Rather than limiting quality to a specific department, it is operated as a company-wide system in which design, manufacturing, quality assurance, and management work together.
![]() | System for building quality throughout all processesDuring the design phase, the QA department conducts design verification from a third-party perspective, and during manufacturing, a management system based on process FMEA is implemented. From daily quality improvements to handling market complaints, we consistently carry out root cause identification, corrective actions, and recurrence prevention. Management structure supporting continuous improvementAt the beginning of each year, quality targets are set across all departments, and progress is reviewed monthly by management. From executives to frontline staff, the entire organization works together to continuously improve quality issues. |

AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount/Board power supply custom development and design support
UNIFIVE provides custom solutions based on customer requirements, leveraging our extensive development experience. We support miniaturization, heat countermeasures, lightning surge, noise and harmonic countermeasures, original designs, compliance with international safety standards, waterproof and dustproof solutions, and low-noise design according to application and environment. We also support compliance design with international energy efficiency regulations such as DOE Level VII and ErP Lot 7.
Beyond proposing standard products, we provide practical development proposals starting from specifications close to your requirements. Below are examples of our custom development achievements.
Examples of custom development
| Case | Details |
|---|---|
| Doubled lightning surge resistance | Adopted by a telecommunications equipment manufacturer, achieving zero failures caused by lightning strikes in outdoor communication devices |
| Short-term solution to peak current issues with semi-custom design | Achieved peak current requirements that were difficult to meet with standard products through semi-custom design |
| Solving the "hard-to-find power supply" with waterproofing and wide temperature support | Adoption case where custom design met special environmental requirements of an FA equipment manufacturer |
| Achieved special output specifications with zero initial cost and short lead time | Case of a semi-custom solution delivered in time for a mass production schedule for an electronics manufacturer |
| Mass production of the industry's smallest 65W AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount | Successful mass production of an ultra-compact adapter for consumer applications utilizing GaN technology |
