AC/DC Converters

AC/DC converters

An AC/DC converter, also known as voltage converter, is an electronic power supply that converts input alternating current AC (most commonly from the electrical grid) into output direct current DC with the desired magnitude. The voltage conversion from AC to DC is achieved through electronic circuits. The adjustment of the output voltage is done either linearly using a transformer with rectification, filtering, and stabilization, or through pulse-width modulation, where the input voltage is converted into high-frequency pulses using switching devices, transformed, rectified, and smoothed. Pulse-width modulated, or switched-mode, power supplies are characterized by higher efficiency and lower weight compared to linear power supplies with comparable power output. 

In the SOS electronic product range, you can find AC/DC converters from brands such as Tracopower, TDK-lambda, Myrra, Friwo, and others.
