What are Linear and Switching Power Supplies?
There are two main types of regulated power supplies available:A switch-mode power supply (switching-mode power supply or SMPS) is an electronic power supply that uses a switching regulator in order to control the conversion of electrical power in a highly efficient manner. This higher efficiency (thus lower heat dissipation) is the chief advantage of a switched-mode power supply.
A linear regulated power supply, on the other hand, regulates the output voltage by dissipating excess power in Ohmic losses (by use of a resistor or a pass transistor in its active mode). Because a linear regulator regulates either output voltage or current by dissipating the excess electric power in the form of heat, its maximum power efficiency is voltage-out/voltage-in. To function properly, a moderately complex regulator circuit is used to achieve low load and ensure line regulation. Another benefit is linear regulated power supplies also have very little ripple and very little output noise (also known as EMI and RFI).
In short, switching regulators are used as replacements for the linear regulators when higher efficiency, smaller size or lighter weight is required. They are, however, more complicated, as their switching currents can cause electrical noise problems if not carefully suppressed, and simple designs may have a poor power factor. Generally more costly, SMPS justify their cost based on performance a, reliability and size when compared with similarly related Linear Power Supplies.Our technical staff has a wealth of experience is migrating AC DC power supply solutions from Astec, Artesyn and Emerson Power to significantly better power solutions from Abracon, Bias Power, Cosel, CUI, Delta, Mean Well, Recom Power, Rohm, ST, Triad Magnetics, Vicor Corporation, Wago and Wall Industries.

Choosing the Right Power Supply
When you do a search for Power Supplies on our website, no matter if you need a AD/DC Switching Power Supply (open frame or enclosed) or a Wall Adapter, we offer a wide selection of products including choices of a 12VDC power supply or 24VDC power supply.
Best of all, when you are looking for the right power supply for your application, you can filter the results by various attributes: by Type (adapter, charger, open frame, enclosed), by number of outputs (dual, five, quad), by output power (1W, 10W, 50W, 75W, 100W, 300W), by output voltage (5 V, 12 V, 15 V, 48 V) or by input voltage (85 to 132 V, 85 to 256 V, 100 to 250 V, 100 to 264 V).
Applications for Power Supply
One of the great things about our product offering is that we can support your needs by the technology you are working on. Whether it is for a special need for a Medical Power Supply or just a generic Universal Input Power Supply, we probably have a power supply solution for you.
Other power supply applications and uses include: low noise amplifiers, signal processing, data acquisition - including sensors, automatic test equipment, laboratory test equipment, control circuits. In short, Future Electronics has the right power supply solution for you.
