U-Channel AC-DC Power Supplies
U-Channel power supplies offer a unique mechanical advantage for high-power, fanless industrial applications. The power supply's printed circuit board is mounted inside a U-shaped extruded aluminum chassis. This chassis serves a dual purpose: it provides mechanical protection and acts as a highly efficient heat sink.
By mounting the bottom or sides of the U-Channel directly against the metal enclosure of the customer's equipment, heat is transferred away from critical components via conduction cooling. This eliminates the need for failure-prone cooling fans, making U-Channel supplies ideal for sealed environments, cleanrooms, outdoor enclosures, or acoustic-sensitive medical environments where silent operation is required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much power can a U-Channel provide without a fan?
Depending on the specific model and how well it is thermally bonded to an external cold plate or chassis, U-Channel supplies can typically deliver 200W to 500W of continuous power purely through conduction and natural convection cooling.
Are thermal pads required for mounting?
Yes, for optimal thermal transfer, it is highly recommended to use a thermal interface material (like a silicone thermal pad or thermal grease) between the U-Channel baseplate and your equipment's metal chassis.
