What is a Power Supply for Industrial Equipment?

Power supplies for industrial equipment require a stable power supply.
They must be designed to withstand harsh environments and demanding requirements, such as those expected at factory production sites or outdoor use, so their specifications differ from those of general-use AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount.

Introduction of Customization Examples

We will introduce some of the services available along with customization examples.

Supports Wide Temperature Range

Supports operating temperature range of -20℃ to 60℃

Traditionally, AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount guarantee an operating temperature of 0–40℃, which is generally well-known. However, for communication equipment, security cameras, industrial devices, etc., even indoors, installation locations exposed to sunlight or used in extremely cold regions can easily exceed this range. Our wide-temperature-range AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount support operating temperatures from -20℃ to 60℃, making them suitable for such demands.

Peak Load Support

Optimal for motor drive, supports peak loads approximately twice the rated load for up to 11 seconds

Image of peak load current

This power supply is ideal for devices that experience fluctuations in load during operation or require currents larger than the “rated” during startup, such as DC motors.
We offer models that support peak loads from 1 second up to 11 seconds, making them highly useful in situations where output current higher than the rated value is temporarily needed.AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount.
There is no need to select a significantly larger power supply to match peak capacity, helping reduce size and cost during selection. PSE certified.

Waterproof Support

Optimal for wet environments with IP65/IP67 rating

This product supports IP65 as a standard specification. By performing potting (resin filling inside), it can be upgraded to IP67, a higher degree of protection. While not recommended for full outdoor use due to being an AC adapter, it is optimal for semi-outdoor applications or equipment where water exposure is a concern, such as housing equipment or security cameras.

  • *2 Depends on requested volume

Lightning Surge Protection

Support for lightning surge up to 10KV is also available

With general AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount, compliance with IEC61000-4-5 Level 2 or 3 for lightning surge is common, but based on customer requests, we can support surges of 10KV or higher. Industrial equipment cannot be halted due to lightning surge.
We work hand in hand with our customers to confirm secondary side grounding conditions, identify surge intrusion paths and implement countermeasures, providing customized lightning surge protection.

Specifications

Customer Feedback

Company A

We Modified the Product's Operating Temperature Range

We were designing a new sensing device in-house, and although the device itself was capable of operating reliably between -20°C and 60°C, the originally planned AC adapter only supported an operating temperature range of 0–40°C. As a result, we had resigned ourselves to limiting the overall product range to 0–40°C. At that time, UNIFIVE proposed a wide-temperature-range model. We considered adopting it, and not only did it meet the -20°C to 60°C range, but they also made modifications to ensure a 10-year lifespan. Thanks to this, we were able to confidently release our product.

Company B

We Were Struggling with Surge Intrusions

We were experiencing recurring issues with adapters used in security devices for buildings being damaged by surges and returned from the market. Since these are security devices, if the adapter failed, it would prevent the doors from unlocking, causing inconvenience to customers. During the development of a new product model, we learned about UNIFIVE and consulted with them. They proposed an adapter with an added varistor and improved surge protection capabilities, which led us to choose their product.

Company C

We Were Concerned About Rain Exposure

We adopted UNIFIVE's adapter for signage equipment that may be used in semi-outdoor locations, such as shopping arcades. While standard AC adapters are not guaranteed to meet waterproof standards, we were concerned that exposure to elements like wind-driven rain could cause failures. With UNIFIVE’s waterproof adapter, which reaches IP67 performance when potted, we were able to use it with peace of mind. It was a great help.
