Power-One HE5-18 OVP AC-DC Linear Power Supply

Power-One HE5-18 OVP is a linear AC-DC power supply that accepts 115 or 230 VAC from mains and delivers a regulated 5 VDC output capable of supplying up to 18 amperes to connected loads. The HE5-18 OVP designation identifies the unit as having over-voltage protection, a critical safety feature that helps prevent damage to sensitive electronics when supply voltages momentarily exceed nominal levels during operation or power disturbances. Manufactured by Power-One, this model is designed for applications requiring a robust, single-rail 5 V supply from AC mains, such as electronics prototyping, test benches, and equipment integrations where a dependable 5 V source with high current capability is essential. Key data points include a 5 VDC output at up to 18 A and 115/230 VAC input, with the OVP feature explicitly tied to the HE5-18 designation for quick identification in inventory and schematics.
