GB20S05K01

AC-DC converters also known as rectifiers are essential components for producing power from AC mains to DC power. The GB20S05K01 is a very popular AC-DC converter, particularly useful for many different applications due to its long life of up to 30 years. It is also noteworthy for its efficiency and superior industrial grade performance.

GB20S05K01 is an autoranging type of AC-DC converter that automatically adjusts the input voltage to the most suitable output range. The input voltage can range from 90 to 265V AC and the output voltage is set to 5V DC without an external transformer. It also features a peak efficiency of over 85% and operates over a wide temperature range of -25°C to +80°C without sacrificing performance. The small size of the GB20S05K01 makes it an ideal solution for applications where space is limited.

One of the main applications of the GB20S05K01 is in industrial automation. It is suitable for use in control processes and instrumentation, where safe and reliable power is essential. The 5V DC output voltage of the converter is ideal for powering electrical devices with a small operating voltage. The high efficiency of the converter makes it suitable for use in panel mount applications, where high levels of energy efficiency are required.

The GB20S05K01 has a wide range of applications including LED lighting, small industrial machines, security systems, access control and data loggers.
