Space missions and applications



APCON has the experience of over 25 years and the resources to design the best custom power supplies for space applications.

Bringing together custom input and output voltages with thermal, mechanical, EMI and environmental requirements, we provide complete power supply solutions with low risk and low non-recurring costs. We have successfully designed a number of power supplies with a wide range of requirements.

The APCON multiple output space power supplies in high-density technology also provide options for reverse polarity protection, on/off control, undervoltage lockout, integrated power bus distribution and programmable internal house keeping with command interfaces for data exchange.

APCON power supplies include different input space bus voltage ranges such as 18V-DC and 60V-DC and an inrush current limiter for different bus applications. Typical output voltages are available from 2.5V-DC to 37V-DC and output power capability up to 500 watts.
