1. AC-DC power module: the core power of modern electronic systems
The AC-DC power module is a complete power solution that integrates AC to DC functionality. It integrates complex power conversion circuits into a compact package to provide stable and reliable DC power for various electronic devices. Compared with discrete power solutions, modular design greatly simplifies the system design process and improves product consistency and reliability.
As electronic products develop towards miniaturization and high efficiency, AC-DC power modules have become the preferred power supply solution in industrial control, communication equipment, medical instruments and other fields with their excellent performance and convenient use experience.

Other specific industry standards
3. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How to ensure the long-term reliability of the power module?
Key measures to ensure reliability:
Choose high-quality components
Strict production process control
Complete aging test process
Reasonable heat dissipation design
Correct installation and use
Q2: Does the power module require additional heat dissipation measures?
According to specific conditions of use:
Low power module (<25W): usually natural heat dissipation is enough
Medium power module (25-100W): It is RECOMmended to add a heat sink
High power module (>100W): forced air cooling is required
High temperature environment: derating must be considered
Q3: Does the module support parallel use?
Some models support parallel connection:
Modules with current sharing function can be directly connected in parallel
Ordinary modules require an external current sharing circuit
It is recommended to consult technical support for specific solutions
Pay attention to current distribution during redundant design
Q4: How to deal with electromagnetic compatibility issues?
EMC handling suggestions:
Select modules that have passed relevant EMC certifications
Install filters at the input and output ends
Good PCB layout and grounding design
Use shielding cover if necessary
4. Troubleshooting Guide
| Fault phenomenon | Possible reasons | Detection method | solution |
|---|---|---|---|
| No output | Input power failure Module damaged Wiring error | Check input voltage Measuring fuse Confirm wiring | restore power Replace module Correct wiring |
| Abnormal output voltage | Overloaded Abnormal input voltage Module failure | Measure load current Check input voltage Test no-load output | reduce load Stable input Replace module |
| Overheating protection | Poor heat dissipation high ambient temperature Overload operation | Measure case temperature Check cooling conditions Monitor load current | Improve heat dissipation Lower ambient temperature reduce load |
| Large output ripple | Filter capacitor failure external interference Load mutation | Measure ripple waveform Check peripheral circuit Test dynamic response | Replace capacitor Strengthen shielding stable load |
| Startup failed | Soft start failure Protection circuit action timing error | Check startup waveform Read fault code Check enable signal | Adjust soft start Troubleshooting Adjust timing |
