VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 Power Supply Module

Need a power supply that won’t flake out when your industrial systems demand rock-solid reliability? The VANGUARD PSMU-350-3 CPCI-350Q-P-38 handles AC-to-DC conversion with enough grit to keep automation gear running smoothly. Think of it as the quiet workhorse for control panels and embedded computers that can’t afford midday naps.

Ever tried squeezing a power supply into a crowded control cabinet? This module’s CPCI design plays nice with compact setups. We’ve seen it bolted into automation systems from factory floors to train signaling cabinets. Customers running ABB’s AC800PEC controllers or GE’s VMIVME-7807 modules often spec this as their go-to power solution.

What makes this thing special? Let’s geek out on specs. The protection circuitry isn’t just checkbox compliance – we’ve had reports of it saving entire control racks during voltage spikes. The 95% efficiency isn’t just marketing fluff either; one plant manager told me it cut their cooling costs by 15% after swapping old supplies. And that rugged build? It’s not unusual to see these surviving in 24/7 environments where other modules tap out after a few months.

Adjustable output means you’re not stuck with one voltage setting. We’ve configured them for everything from 12VDC microcontroller systems to 48VDC motor control circuits. Just don’t expect magic – the current capacity still depends on how you set up the configuration jumpers. Oh, and the thermal management? The heat sink design is why these keep running when competitors’ modules start thermal throttling at 70°C.
