Next-Gen Industrial Power: Revolutionizing the 24V Series SMPS with GaN Technology
In modern industrial automation, robotics, and control systems, power supply units (PSUs) are the unsung heart of operational reliability. Downtime due to thermal overload, power surges, or standard component failure can cost manufacturing facilities significant productivity.
At Melux CGPL, we continuous strive to bring high-reliability power solutions to modern control panels. The introduction of Gallium Nitride (GaN) semiconductor technology into our 24V Series High-Efficiency Universal SMPS lineup marks a leap forward in power density, thermal performance, and energy efficiency.
What Makes GaN Technology a Game-Changer?
For decades, silicon (Si) has been the material of choice for Switched-Mode Power Supply (SMPS) design. However, silicon is reaching its physical limits regarding switching speed, thermal dissipation, and conversion efficiency.
Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a Wide Bandgap (WBG) semiconductor that fundamentally changes how power converters operate:
Ultra-Fast Switching Speeds: GaN switches up to 10x faster than traditional silicon MOSFETs, allowing engineers to shrink magnetic components (transformers and inductors) significantly.
Higher Efficiency (Up to 95%+): Reduced conduction and switching losses mean far less electrical energy is lost as heat.
Smaller Form Factor: Shrinking internal components allows for up to 40% reduction in cabinet footprint compared to conventional legacy power supplies.

Core Industrial Benefits
1. Universal AC Input Range
Fluctuating power quality is a frequent headache in industrial zones. Melcon’s Universal Input capability allows the 24V GaN SMPS to accept input voltages ranging from 85V AC to 264V AC (47-63 Hz) without manual jumper switching. Whether your panel operates on standard 110V or 230V AC grid supplies, the output remains rock-solid at 24V DC.
2. Space Optimization in Control Cabinets
Space inside industrial control panels is expensive. By utilizing GaN transistors, our design compresses high wattage output into a slim, compact footprint. This frees up valuable DIN-rail or panel mounting space for additional I/O modules, relays, or circuit protection components.
3. Lower Thermal Stress & Longer Life
Because GaN conversion generates significantly less waste heat, the internal operating temperature of the power supply drops. Lower internal thermal stress directly correlates with:
Longer lifespan of electrolytic filter capacitors.
Reduced need for active forced-air fan cooling (preventing dust intake).
Cooler overall cabinet temperatures, protecting surrounding sensitive electronics.
4. Comprehensive Built-in Protections
Melcon’s 24V series includes multi-tier protection circuits essential for demanding industrial workflows:
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
Overcurrent / Overload Protection (OCP)
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP) with automatic recovery
Thermal Shutdown Protection (OTP)
Target Applications
Our 24V GaN SMPS series is ideal for:
Industrial Automation & Robotics: Delivering ripple-free 24V DC to PLC controllers, distributed I/O modules, and servo drive logic.
Process Control & Instrumentation: Powering precision transmitters, flow meters, and sensor loops.
Telecommunications & IT Infrastructure: Reliable DC backup power supplies.
CNC & Machine Building: Panel integration where space and thermal tolerance are critical factors.
