Overview
The Phoenix Contact QUINT-PS-100-240AC/24DC/20 is a DIN rail mounted switching-mode power supply engineered for demanding industrial automation and control applications. Rated for 24V DC / 20A output with a wide 100–240 VAC input (5.7–2.5A), it combines primary-switched efficiency with single-phase, 50–60 Hz operation. This model is part of the QUINT POWER series, recognized for high inrush-current handling and extensive global approvals. The unit is discontinued by the manufacturer; Phoenix Contact recommends QUINT4-PS/1AC/24DC/20 (part 2904602) for new installations.
