Overview
The Phoenix Contact QUINT-PS-100-240AC/24DC/10 is a compact DIN rail-mounted power supply unit designed for industrial automation and control systems. This primary-switched mode unit delivers 24 V DC at 10 A (240 W nominal output) from a wide-range 100–240 VAC input, making it suitable for global deployments. The unit is engineered to handle demanding load conditions and inrush currents common in industrial environments.
Key Features
- Primary-switched topology for efficient power conversion and reduced heat dissipation
- Wide input range: 100–240 VAC nominal, 85–264 VAC operational (45–65 Hz)
- POWER BOOST function for reliably starting heavy inductive loads with high inrush currents
- Compact DIN rail form factor — 130 × 125 × 85 mm for space-constrained cabinets
- Global approvals and design for use across multiple industrial sectors worldwide
- Efficiency >91% and integrated surge protection (varistor-based)
