Switch Mode Power Supply ARF500 (Enclosed)
The ARF500 switch-mode power supply from ARCH has been designed according to the latest energy efficiency standards. It operates with an efficiency of up to 92%, features high power density, and includes built-in power factor correction (PFC).
With a wide input range of 90 V to 264 V (AC), it is suitable for global use and delivers high power even without active cooling. The ARF500 is available with output voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V.
The ARF500 operates in ambient temperatures from -30 °C to 80 °C and is certified for IT and audio/video applications.
Specifications
- Standard mounting, compatible with products from other power supply manufacturers
- High output power: up to 330 W without cooling, up to 500 W with active cooling
- Very long lifespan due to high-quality components such as Nippon Chemi-Con capacitors, resulting in high MTBF

External Power Supplies (Plug-in and Desktop Power Supplies)
Find practical answers to frequently asked questions about our external plug-in and desktop power supplies for industrial, medical, and IT applications. These articles support you with selecting the appropriate model, navigating country-specific mains plug options, and ensuring safe commissioning and troubleshooting.
Worauf muss ich bei der Auswahl eines passenden externen Netzteils achten?
For an external power supply unit (e.g. a desktop power supply) to operate safely, four criteria must match your device: voltage, current, polarity, and connector dimensions. You will usually find the required ratings on your device’s rating plate (typically under "Input") or on your previous power supply under "Output".
- Voltage (volts / V) – must match exactly: The output voltage of the power supply unit must match your device's input voltage precisely. Excessive voltage can permanently damage the electronics; insufficient voltage will cause the device not to start or to run unstably.
- Current (amperes / A) – may be higher: The power supply unit must supply at least the current required by the device. A higher ampere or wattage rating on the power supply poses no risk, as the device only draws the current it actually requires.
- Polarity – must match: Check the polarity symbol on the device. DC barrel connectors are usually centre-positive (positive pole inside). The replacement power supply must have identical polarity.
- Connector dimensions (DC barrel connector): The connector must fit securely and smoothly into the socket. Common dimensions specify the outer and inner diameters (e.g. 5.5 × 2.1 mm or 5.5 × 2.5 mm). If socket dimensions are non-standard or unclear, universal power supplies with an adapter set can help.
