There are two basic regulated power supply types: switched mode and linear. Our catalog includes both linear and switched mode regulated DC power supplies. A switched mode power supply uses a switching regulator to provide the DC output voltage. In general, switched mode is more efficient than linear. However, the right choice depends upon the application.

Linear power supplies work by dissipating excess power. Linear power supply is a regulator that adjusts the voltage divider to maintain a constant output voltage. Switched mode is more efficient, but depends on the application. We offer switched mode and linear power supplies to meet the power supply needs of nearly any application.

Nearly every major power supply manufacturer makes a range of regulated power supply products. The number of products we supply online makes it possible to find a regulated DC power supply to fit every application, but choosing the right product may be tricky. If you know exactly the type of regulated DC power supply you need, you can search by product number. Our requirements search allows you to enter information using product specifications. Using this feature, you can view a list of regulated power supply products that will fit your exact requirements.
