AC to DC Power SuppliesAn AC to DC power supply converts an alternating current (AC) source to a direct current (DC) supply. Typically, AC to DC power supply comprises a transformer, rectifier diodes, and a capacitor. This supply does not provide optimal performance and functionality for most applications, except for converters like switching regulators and hot-swap controllers. Output ripple is the criteria used to determine the performance of AC to DC power supplies.

Battery chargersThese components work by feeding an electric current into batteries for some time until the cells retain some of the electricity running through them. Today, chargers are built with timers that turn off automatically at a specified time. Different chargers are built to charge at different currents/voltages at different rates. It is, therefore, a rule of thumb that the chargers suitable for one battery may not be so for another. It is vital to match the charger of the right voltage and current to the batteries.

Cable fastener accessoriesThere are various cable fastener accessories for the installation and management of cables. They are of various sizes, forms and are used for many functions. While some act as a means of passing signals from one point to another, others have outer protective metallic shells that act as propagation paths, shielding EM radiation signals.

Circuit breakersA circuit breaker acts as an electric switch that protects a circuit from shorting or loading. They stop the flow of current once an electrical fault is detected. Circuit breakers double as protection devices that can be configured. Different circuit breakers have different applications. They differ greatly from low voltage and low current to high voltage and high current.

Specialized power ICs and modulesUsing specialized power ICs and modules can significantly reduce the component count, cost, and complexity of a power management system. These chips and modules perform many power management functions such as battery charging, voltage regulation, DC-to-DC conversion, AC to DC conversion, motor control, and supervisory power tasks. Understanding the functions that these components can perform during the initial design phase of a system can increase the chance of producing a highly optimized and effective design plan.
