Introduction
The switching DC power supply has a flexible linear/regulated AC-DC converter architecture. It provides dependable AC-to-DC power conversion with a stable DC voltage supply. It works with mobile phones, a scanner, a HAM radio, etc.
Fast and reliable power conversion is made possible by the straightforward plug-in operation, which offers a steady source of DC voltage. An external battery or other power source is not necessary with switch-activated power management. This desktop bench power supply has a power socket adaptor and a cigarette lighter for powering portable gadgets. Constant amperage can reach 9 AMP with a power output of 13.8V DC and a switchable 115/230V AC power source.
The USB charging port and universal screw connection terminals on this workbench variable power converter are suitable with a variety of devices and equipment. To protect the operator and any attached electronics, this PSU has built-in electrical overload and short circuit protection. It has a sturdy housing design for secure desktop installation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can a QYT-KT-8900 small radio be powered by this?****
It relies on your device’s specifications. Visit our website, pyleaudio.com, to view the unit’s further specifications. For further information, enter the model number PSV90 in the search box.
How much surge current can these models support?****
Its roughly 5 amps. This device works well for light loads. Don’t expect it to perform at a level above that. This device is rated much too low.
Does this combo 12A unit deliver 12 amps from both the red/black and lighter adaptor outputs?****
The device provides up to 13.8 volts for the red, black, and lighter adaptor outputs. Visit our website, pyleaudio.com, to view the unit’s further specifications. For further information, enter the model number PSV150 in the search box.
I want to utilize this as a bench test for a marine vhf radio that can transmit at 25 watts of power. Is this device capable of handling this?****
Please check the unit’s amps before connecting it. The device can handle up to 12-Amps and has a 13.8V DC power output. Visit our website, pyleaudio.com, to view the unit’s further specifications.
Do you need a bench power supply?****
Bench power supply is very helpful equipment for testing circuits since they let you change the voltage instantly. The bench power supply can come in handy if your project requires a certain voltage or if you haven’t quite finished designing the power section.
What is bench power supply?****
A bench power supply is a piece of test and measurement gear that may be found on the workbench of any electrical engineer and circuit designer. They supply a device under test, such as a circuit board or other goods being evaluated, with DC (direct current) voltage.
How does ATX power supply work?****
A signal from the motherboard turns on and off ATX power supplies. In order for the computer to safely power on and boot, they also send a signal to the motherboard when the DC voltages are within specs. Version 3.0 of the ATX PSU standard is the most recent as of mid-2022.
What are the 3 types of power supply?****
Regulated power sources can be divided into three categories: battery-based, switching, and linear. Although switching and battery power have advantages, linear is the least complex of the three fundamental regulated power supply systems.
Why should we get bench power supply?****
Engineers can set and supply the DUT with a precise voltage using bench power supplies to verify that the device is operating as planned. They can troubleshoot and retest if it isn’t.
What is the difference between a switching and linear power supply?****
In a switching power supply, the current after rectification is supplied to the transformer as a high-frequency pulse. In a linear power supply, the frequency input from an outlet or another source is sent straight to the transformer.
How do I choose a DC power supply?****
Determining the system power requirements is the main factor to take into account when choosing an AC-DC power supply. This covers the dc output specs as well as the ac input range. The user should confirm that the power supply’s ac input voltage range is appropriate for their target markets and specified applications.
Why does an ATX power supply have 12V?****
With ATX12VO, the 3.3V and 5V rails are eliminated, leaving the power supply’s sole responsibility to supply 12V to the system’s components. This reduces the complexity of the power circuitry design and lowers the cost of component fabrication.
Does it matter what power supply I get?****
Along with any additional features you may be interested in, you should take into account the form factor, efficiency, amperage, protection, and the cords you will require. Take the time to make an informed choice because a decent power supply can last for many years and can significantly affect your PC’s efficiency.
How do I know if my power supply is linear?****
A significantly more compact transformer or inductor is used with switch mode supply. As a general rule, switch mode is when anything feels like it would float and linear mode is when something sinks.
