What is a power supply enclosure?
Power supply enclosure is an important part to protect the internal circuit and components of the power supply. It not only has a physical protection role, but also bears the power supply heat dissipation and other multiple functions.
The following are the details of the power supply enclosure:
What are its parts?
The power supply enclosure is the external encapsulation structure of the power supply device. It is usually made of aluminum alloy or plastic material. It is mainly used to protect the circuit boards, transformers, capacitors and other key components inside the power supply.
The role of the power supply enclosure:
1. protect the internal circuitry:
It can effectively prevent external physical impact, dust and rain and other factors from damaging the internal circuitry. The stable operation of the internal circuit cannot be separated from its protection.
2. Prevent electromagnetic interference:
The power supply generates electromagnetic radiation in the working process. The shell can effectively block these radiations and prevent them from interfering with external equipment.
3. Improve the safety of the power supply:
It can prevent users from directly contacting the internal high-voltage components. It can avoid electric shock and other safety accidents.
In addition, the aluminum power supply enclosure also has fireproof, explosion-proof and other safety features.

The material of the power supply enclosure:
Its common materials are: metal (such as aluminum alloy, stainless steel, galvanized steel, etc.) and plastic (such as ABS plastic, PC plastic, PP plastic, etc.).
Different materials have different characteristics of the shell, such as metal shell with high strength and heat dissipation performance. While the plastic shell has a lighter weight and better insulating properties.
Common types of power supply housings:
At present, the main common power supply housing is aluminum type and plastic type. They differentiate the types based on these applications:
- LED power supply housings
- Computer power supply housings
- Air conditioner power supply housing
- Laptop power supply housing
Note that there are power supply housings for other metals though. But since the aluminum enclosure is the lowest cost solution, it dominates the major market.
Final Summary
Power supply enclosure is an important part of power supply equipment. When choosing a power supply enclosure, you need to choose the right material and type according to the specific application scenarios and needs.
