Ensuring high reliability and safety
The power supply is the heart of electronic equipment and its failure is fatal to the overall system function.
Rubycon is always aiming for reliability and long life through the pursuit of a highly reliable design. In addition to complying with various safety standards, we also devise circuitry and packaging to ensure a high level of safety in the event of abnormalities.
Pursuit of high efficiency and miniaturization
There is always power loss in power supplies, which causes heat generation and hinders miniaturization. Moreover, it is a critical factor that greatly impairs reliability.
Rubycon pursues a design that minimizes this loss, aiming for high efficiency and miniaturization.
Low noise design
A switching power supply generates noise from itself.
Rubycon not only designs to minimize noise generation, but also considers tolerance to external noise.
reduced standby power consumption
Electronic devices have a state in which the main power is on but not operating (standby), and even in this state, a certain amount of electricity is always consumed.
At Rubycon, we strive to save energy by designing our products to reduce power consumption during standby.
From small lot to mass production
Rubycon can provide the same quality from small lot to mass production at our own factory and cooperating factories.

FAQ
Please let us know the hints and air flow conditions in case when the power supply is used at high temperatures.
If a fan is used, it is possible to obtain the rated output even at the ambient temperature of 60℃. Select the mounting direction and airflow of the fan in such manner that the power supply unit may be cooled internally to the maximum extent.
Note: After the power supply unit was mounted on the device proper, never fail to measure the inside temperature of power supply unit and frame temperature and check to see that such temperatures may be lower than 90℃ at the maximum operating temperature of the device proper.
Example) In case of RSW 100: T1, L2 and frame temperatures should be lower than 90℃.
Please let us know the overcurrent characteristics.
Please confirm the output characteristics given in the file attached below.
(Example: RSW 100-24 output characteristics)
Please let us know the way how to adjust the output voltage.
It is possible to adjust the output voltage by means of output voltage adjuster(V. ADJ).
Upon adjustment, don’t touch the inside and use an insulating screw-driver.
Turn the adjuster anticlockwise, and the output voltage will drop. To increase the output voltage, turn the adjuster clockwise.
Note: The output voltage should be used within the range specified on the catalogue.
