Overview

The RAC05-05SK is a compact board-mount AC-DC power module that accepts a wide AC input range (85-264 VAC) and provides a regulated 5 V output at up to 1 A (5 W). It is supplied in a 1 inch x 1 inch footprint intended for PCB mounting where a small, self-contained mains power source is needed. The module simplifies powering embedded and industrial electronics without an external adapter.

Why Choose This Part

This 1 x 1 inch module gives a complete AC-to-5V solution in a very small PCB footprint, removing the need for separate wall adapters or bulky supplies. Its wide input range (85-264 VAC) makes designs easier to deploy globally without extra input-stage circuitry. Being a self-contained switching module simplifies thermal and EMC design compared with building a discrete supply from components.

Applications

Embedded controllers and microprocessor boards
Provide a compact, on-board 5 V supply for microcontrollers, single-board computers, or peripheral logic where space is limited.
Industrial control and automation
Power sensors, relays, and small I/O modules in distributed control panels that require a universal mains input.
Instrumentation and test modules
Supply small measurement or data-acquisition frontends that need a reliable regulated 5 V rail from mains.
IoT gateways and edge devices
Use for field-deployed IoT gateways or communication nodes that must accept global AC mains voltages.

Getting Started

Read the manufacturer's datasheet and recommended footprint before layout: follow input and output capacitor, fuse, and safety/clearance recommendations. Add an input fuse and an EMI filter if your application must meet conducted-emissions limits; place output decoupling close to the load. Test under worst-case ambient temperature and apply a dummy load when verifying regulation and startup behavior.

Also Consider

IRM-10-5 Mean Well - Higher power (10 W) alternative with the same 5 V output; useful when some headroom above 5 W is needed while keeping a compact encapsulated module.
