Medical Power Supply

Medical AC/DC power supplies are engineered for the rigorous demands of healthcare environments, offering reliable AC and DC power options in both external and open-frame configurations. Power ratings range from 4.5W to 500W, and the latest models feature compact designs with enhanced efficiency. To address the growing need for higher efficiency and smaller form factors, manufacturers have incorporated Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology into their medical adapters. GaN semiconductors deliver superior energy conversion, offering improved thermal management and enabling more compact, lightweight devices—ideal for integration into modern medical equipment.

The healthcare manufacturing industry is subject to stringent safety standards, and medical power supplies are available in various types, including open-frame, enclosed, fanless, and configurable models, as well as external medical AC adapters and DC-DC modules. These AC-DC power supplies and DC-DC modules are supported by some of the largest global manufacturers of medical-grade power solutions.

Many designers today opt for standard, commercially available medical-grade power supplies or request customized PSUs. Using power supplies that meet medical industry standards and are already certified to the EN60601-1 safety standard allows medical device and system manufacturers to accelerate compliance testing. Additionally, relying on pre-approved medical power supplies helps OEMs avoid unforeseen development challenges outside their area of expertise, reducing the risk of delays and helping to meet product launch timelines.
