Power supplies are used in a wide range of difficult and demanding environments. However, what makes a modern power supply “rugged” is subjective. For example, a power supply that’s robust and rugged enough to withstand high altitudes may not have what it takes to tolerate marine environments. So, in the absence of a standard definition, how can you get the rugged power supply you need?

Whether your specification is a half-page document or 30 pages long, there are questions to ask and criteria to consider when it comes to rugged power design. Finding the right design and manufacturing partner can help, too.
