You Need The ST-PD5U!
The ST-PD5U is part of the group of versatile STICK-ON products from Radio Design Labs. The durable
adhesives provided with the ST-PD5U permit permanent or removable mounting. Numerous available
mounting accessories, brackets and rack-mount chassis are optionally available.
APPLICATION: The ST-PD5U is the ideal choice where power distribution from a current-limited
switching power supply is needed. It is suitable for powering up to five modules from a single power
supply. The current limiting circuitry in many switching power supplies will cause the supply to shut down
upon power-up when a high current capacitive load is connected. Upon application of power, the
ST-PD5U ramps the voltage up, charging any load capacitance as quickly as possible, then switching full
voltage to the load. If reverse polarity is connected to the input, the ST-PD5U disconnects the load until
the condition is corrected.
In system design, various modules are frequently operated from a single power supply. Good engineering
practice requires that the power wiring to each module originate at the power supply output.
The ST-PD5U serves as the power source for each of five modules. A single ST-PD5U can provide power
to RDL’s floating modules. A separate ST-PD5U can provide power to ground referenced modules.
(Do not attempt to intermix floating and ground referenced modules from a single ST-PD5U.)
Note: If using a linear power supply, distribute the voltage to multiple modules using an RDL ST-PD5.
Wherever power distribution from a switching power supply is needed, the ST-PD5U is the ideal choice.
Use the ST-PD5U combined with other RDL RACK-UP
products as part of a complete audio/video system.
