Hi-Link AC-DC 5W Power Module 110-240V to DC
Hi-Link AC-DC Module 5W is a compact AC-DC converter that transforms 110-240V AC mains voltage into stable DC output from 3.3V to 24V. This isolated switching power module delivers 5W rated power with high efficiency and low ripple, making it an ideal embedded power supply for IoT devices, smart home systems, industrial control, and electronic projects. A direct upgrade to the 2W HLK-PM series, the 5W AC-DC power module provides higher output current in a similarly compact form factor.

FAQ
-
Q: What is the difference between 2W (HLK-PMxx) and 5W (HLK-5MxxB) modules?
A: The 5W version delivers 2.5× more power with higher output current, while maintaining a similar compact size. It is a direct upgrade for applications needing more headroom. -
Q: Can I use this module at 110V and 240V without any switch?
A: Yes, the wide 110-240V AC input range is fully automatic — no voltage selector or jumper is needed. -
Q: How much current can each voltage variant output?
A: 3.3V outputs 1500mA, 5V outputs 1000mA, 9V outputs 560mA, 12V outputs 420mA, 15V outputs 333mA, and 24V outputs 208mA. -
Q: Does it require a heatsink?
A: Under normal 5W load conditions, no heatsink is needed. However, adding thermal relief copper on the PCB improves heat dissipation. -
Q: Is the output isolated from the AC input?
A: Yes, it provides ≥ 3000V AC galvanic isolation between the input and output for safety. -
Q: Can I connect two modules in series for higher voltage?
A: It is not recommended. The outputs are not designed for series connection — use a single module rated for your target voltage instead. -
Q: What happens during overload or short-circuit?
A: The module has built-in protection that limits current and may shut down temporarily. Remove the fault and it will resume operation automatically. -
Q: Can it run 24/7 continuously?
A: Yes, the module is designed for continuous industrial operation within its rated temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. -
Q: Does it need external capacitors or filter components?
A: While it works standalone, adding a small output capacitor (10-100µF) can further reduce output ripple for noise-sensitive applications. -
Q: Is it CE/FCC certified?
A: Hi-Link modules comply with common safety standards. Check the manufacturer's datasheet for the latest certification details specific to your region.
