A power supply serves as an essential electrical device, delivering electric power to various loads. Its primary role involves converting electric current from a source to the appropriate voltage, current, and frequency required to power the load, earning it the moniker “electric power converter.”
Power supplies encompass a variety of forms, including the Hi-Link Power Supply Module, SMPS (switch-mode power supply), and Power Adapter. While some power supplies exist as standalone units, others are integrated into the appliances they power.
SMPS, or switch-mode power supply, specifically transforms wall-voltage AC power into lower voltage DC power. Meanwhile, the Hi-Link Power Supply Module is a plastic-enclosed PCB-mounted isolated switching step-down power supply module.
