Waterproof × Wide Temperature Supported - Custom Solution for “Invisible Power Supply” Used by FA Equipment Manufacturer
Achieved an AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount that meets IP waterproofing, operation from -20 to +60°C, and high output simultaneously through semi-customization utilizing existing assets. Introducing a case study of an FA equipment manufacturer who succeeded in mass production without any changes to equipment design.

With IP waterproof specification, -20 to +60℃, and yet no high-output AC/DC Power Adapters — Desktop & Wall-Mount...Are you facing such a problem?
A challenge that many FA equipment manufacturers face: "harsh environments × high power".
In this case, where existing lineups didn't match the specifications and "a major redesign of the device was the only option...", we solved the issue using our "semi-custom power supply".
Challenges Before Implementation
![]()
- Standard products do not simultaneously meet both IP waterproof and wide temperature range (-20 to +60℃)
- Due to insufficient output, forced to modify device design
- Risk of missing the new product release schedule
Our Solution
| Step | Measures | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reuse existing lineup 24V adapter as base | Minimize initial cost and lead time |
| 2 | Design waterproof case with new mold | Ensure IP rating while maintaining optimal size |
| 3 | Partially replace with components supporting wide temperature range | Maintain rated output even in -20 to +60℃ |
[Key Point] Instead of “full custom,” we maximized existing assets to achieve both cost-efficiency and development speed!!
Results After Implementation
- Launched mass production on schedule with zero design changes
- Handled additional specifications with stocked parts and new case on a short lead time
- One-stop solution to the issue of “limited options”
“Development delayed due to power supply issues suddenly progressed!”
