Mean Well HDR-60-24 24V 2.5A 60W DIN Rail Power Supply

A. Product Overview

The Mean Well HDR-60-24 24V 2.5A 60W DIN Rail SMPS belongs to the HDR-60 ultra slim power supply series. It is designed for installation on TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15 DIN rails and uses a compact 52.5 mm wide enclosure to save space inside control cabinets.

The HDR-60-24 accepts an input range of 85 to 264V AC, with 277V AC operational capability, and provides a rated output of 24V DC, 2.5A and 60W. Its output voltage is adjustable from 21.6V to 29V DC, making it suitable for applications requiring a stable 24V DC supply with limited voltage adjustment.

The power supply offers approximately 90 percent typical efficiency, operates from minus 30°C to 70°C subject to derating, and includes short circuit, overload and overvoltage protection. It also includes an LED power indicator and uses free air convection for cooling.

B. Working Principle

The HDR-60-24 converts incoming AC mains power into regulated 24V DC power using a switch mode power supply architecture.

According to the block diagram on page 3 of the specification sheet, the input first passes through an EMI filter, followed by rectification and filtering. The resulting DC voltage is processed through a high frequency power switching stage controlled by a PWM control circuit. The secondary side then rectifies and filters the switched power to produce the regulated DC output.

A detection circuit continuously monitors the output voltage and provides feedback to the control circuitry. Built in overload protection and overvoltage protection help protect both the power supply and connected equipment during abnormal operating conditions.

C. Why Mean Well HDR-60-24 Is Used

The HDR-60-24 is used when industrial or automation equipment requires a reliable 24V DC power source from a standard AC supply.

Its 60W output capacity is suitable for powering devices such as PLC systems, sensors, transmitters, relays, controllers, small HMIs, interface modules and other low voltage control equipment, provided the total connected load remains within the rated 24V, 2.5A output.

The ultra slim enclosure is especially useful in compact electrical panels where DIN rail space is limited. Its wide AC input range also allows the same power supply to be used across different electrical supply environments. Mean Well specifically lists household control systems, building automation, industrial control systems, factory automation and electromechanical equipment among the HDR-60 series applications.

Protection against short circuits, overload and overvoltage further makes the HDR-60-24 suitable for continuous use in industrial and control applications.

D. Suitable Buyers

The Mean Well HDR-60-24 DIN Rail SMPS is suitable for industrial automation companies, control panel manufacturers, electrical panel builders, system integrators, machine manufacturers, OEM equipment manufacturers, factory maintenance teams, building automation companies, electrical contractors, PLC system integrators and industrial equipment distributors.

It is particularly suitable for buyers who require a 24V DC, 2.5A, 60W DIN rail mounted power supply with compact dimensions and a wide AC input range.
