The RSP-500 delivers up to 500W-class output power, with models covering a broad range of DC voltages:

  • 3.3V
  • 4V
  • 5V
  • 12V
  • 15V
  • 24V
  • 27V
  • 48V

Depending on the model, rated output power ranges from 297W to around 504W, giving you plenty of choice when matching the power supply to your system requirements.

Despite its 500W-class output, the RSP-500 keeps things relatively compact at just 230 × 127 × 40.5mm.

That 40.5mm-high profile makes it easier to integrate into equipment where installation space is limited, while the built-in fan and fan-control system help manage operating temperature under load.

Need to fine-tune the output? The RSP-500 provides an adjustable output-voltage range depending on the model, allowing you to dial the supply in to better suit your equipment.

It also includes remote sensing, which compensates for voltage drop in the load wiring by up to 0.3V. That can be especially useful where the power supply and load are separated by longer wiring runs.

Active PFC helps the RSP-500 make better use of incoming power, with a typical power factor of >0.98 at 115VAC and >0.95 at 230VAC at full load.

Efficiency varies by output model, reaching up to 90.5%, helping keep power conversion practical across the range.

The RSP-500 is designed to operate from -30°C to +70°C, with the exact available load depending on ambient temperature and derating requirements.

It also supports 20–90% RH non-condensing operating humidity, while storage conditions extend from -40°C to +85°C.

The integrated fan is temperature controlled, switching according to operating conditions. For the 12V–48V models, fan ON/OFF control is built in, while the 3.3V–5V versions operate with the fan always on.

The RSP-500 accepts a wide 85–264VAC input range, or 120–370VDC, at 47–63Hz.

That makes it a flexible choice for equipment that needs to accommodate different mains conditions without requiring a different power-supply platform.

Tough. Efficient. Flexible. Built for LED lighting.

The RSP-500 in a nutshell: serious 500W-class power, a wide selection of output voltages, adjustable output, remote ON/OFF control, remote sensing, active PFC and dependable built-in protection — all packed into a compact 40.5mm-high enclosure. When your system needs substantial DC power with plenty of flexibility, the RSP-500 is ready to deliver.
