Modern automation panels and smart building systems require reliable DC power in tight spaces—without unnecessary complexity. The TPS010–100W GP series from TPS Elektronik is a compact DIN-rail switching power supply platform spanning 10 W to 100 W, designed to fit easily into standard control cabinets while supporting common safety and EMC requirements listed in the datasheet.
Based on the TPS010–100W GP Series datasheet, the range combines a universal AC input, an optional wide-range DC input, high efficiency (model-dependent), and a robust mechanical design for applications such as industrial automation, building management, LED constant-voltage loads (within specified limits), and certain laboratory or medical devices—subject to the overall system approval and integration requirements.
Overview of the TPS010–100W GP Series DIN-rail power supply range
The TPS010–100W GP Series is a family of compact DIN-rail power supplies with output power levels of 10 W, 30 W, 60 W, and 100 W. All models follow the same design principle: deliver efficient DC power in a narrow plastic housing that mounts directly onto TS35 DIN rails.
According to the datasheet, the units accept 90–264 VAC, 47–63 Hz and (depending on model/version) 120–370 VDC input automatically. No-load power consumption is specified as < 0.3 W, supporting energy-efficient cabinet designs.
The series includes both:
- 12 V models with 12–15 V adjustable output (datasheet range), and
- 24 V models with 24–28 V adjustable output (datasheet range).
Typical efficiency is specified as up to ~89% (depending on model and load). This makes the series suitable for powering PLC I/O, sensors, gateways, relays, small HMI panels, LED strips (constant-voltage), and communication modules—when operated within the specified conditions.
Key Features of the TPS010-100W GP Series
Universal input range
- 90–264 VAC and (optional) 120–370 VDC input capability for worldwide operation without manual range selection.
Compact switching power supply design
- Slim housing dimensions (e.g., 91 × 23 × 60 mm for the 10 W class, as specified) help save DIN-rail space.
Convection-cooled (fanless) operation
- Natural convection cooling eliminates fans, reducing acoustic noise and avoiding fan-related maintenance.
IP20, double-insulated case
- Flame-retardant PC housing (e.g., UL94V-0, as listed) with IP20 rating supports safe use in control cabinets.
Low ripple/noise output (typical)
- Ripple/noise is stated as typically < 1% of output voltage (model- and measurement-conditions apply—see datasheet).
Integrated protection functions
- Overload, overvoltage, and overtemperature protections are specified, with auto-recovery behavior depending on protection mode and operating condition. Overload behavior (e.g., thresholds such as >110%) should be referenced from the datasheet for the exact model.
Operating temperature and derating
- Rated operation is specified for 0 °C to 50 °C, with derating up to 70 °C depending on airflow, mounting, and load (use the datasheet derating curves). Humidity tolerance is specified as 5–95% RH non-condensing.
EMC and power quality performance (as listed)
- The datasheet references standards such as EN 61000-3-2 / EN 61000-3-3 for harmonics/flicker and immunity standards as listed (often aligned with IEC/EN 61000-4-x test methods). Always verify the exact standard list and test class in the datasheet for your compliance needs.
Reliability information (datasheet condition-dependent)
- MTBF is specified as > 350,000 hours at full load and 25 °C (method and assumptions per datasheet). MTBF is a statistical estimate and not a guaranteed service life.
5-year warranty
- A 5-year warranty is stated for the series, subject to current TPS Elektronik warranty terms and conditions.
Model range: 10–100 W, 12 V and 24 V outputs
Within the TPS010–100W GP series, you can select power level and output voltage to match your application:
- 10 W: small remote I/O, mini PLCs, sensors, and gateways.
- 30 W: compact control boxes, access control, small relay or LED loads.
- 60 W: larger distributed I/O, communication modules, mixed cabinet loads.
- 100 W: more complex subsystems such as small HMI panels, actuator groups, LED strips, or combined automation equipment (within load/temperature limits).
Because variants share a similar mechanical concept, panel builders can standardize cabinet layout and choose the appropriate model/article number from the datasheet ordering table.
Typical Applications
The TPS010–100W GP Series can be used across many low-voltage DC supply tasks, including:
- Industrial automation: PLCs, I/O modules, sensors, actuators, relays, and interface circuits requiring stable 12 V or 24 V DC (system design dependent).
- Building automation: HVAC controllers, room control units, shutter/blind control, access systems, and metering modules in distribution boards.
- LED constant-voltage loads: if your application uses constant-voltage LED strips/signage, the series may be suitable within the output limits and certification scope stated in the datasheet (EN 61347-2-13 is referenced in the datasheet).
- Laboratory and certain medical devices: where approvals listed in the datasheet support integration—final compliance depends on the complete end device.
- Alarm, monitoring, and utility metering: compact DC supply for sensors and communication devices.
- Residential smart home control cabinets: e.g., KNX, Loxone, Homematic IP Wired, Shelly Pro installations that require DIN-rail DC supply for control modules (system requirements apply).
Compliance, Safety, and Environmental Responsibility
From a regulatory perspective, the TPS010–100W GP Series is designed to support end-product certification efforts. According to the datasheet, the series is intended to meet:
- CE requirements related to the Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/EU and EMC Directive 2014/30/EU (as declared by the manufacturer)
- EN 61347-2-13 (as listed) for relevant LED safety/controlgear requirements
- Additional international safety and EMC standards as listed in the datasheet
The series is also described as RoHS-compliant, supporting reduced use of restricted substances in electronics. Fanless operation reduces moving parts and noise, while efficiency helps limit cabinet heat—both dependent on operating conditions and installation.
Installation and Design-In Considerations
For panel builders and design engineers, integration is straightforward:
- Mount on standard TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 DIN rails in the orientation specified.
- Clearly labeled terminals for AC input (L, N) and DC output are provided.
- A front “DC OK” LED and a V-Adj potentiometer allow fine adjustment within the specified range.
For reliable operation in cabinets:
- Maintain adequate clearance above/below units to support convection cooling.
- Follow the derating curves for high ambient temperatures or near-max load operation.
- Apply appropriate upstream protection and wiring practices to meet safety and code requirements.
Conclusion: A Flexible Power Platform for Automation, Building, LED, and Medical Systems
The TPS010-100W GP Series combines compact size, energy-efficient operation, a versatile input range, and integrated protection and safety features into one DIN rail power platform. Whether you need an industrial automation power supply, a building automation control power supply, an LED lighting power supply, or a power supply for medical or laboratory equipment (subject to system-level approval), this family offers a range of output power levels, voltage options, and approvals as specified in the datasheet.
