At Arrow we understand
the complex challenges of successfully selecting and designing in power
supply solutions - and seeing these designs through to production and
beyond. That's why we have built an organisation that can meet
the specific needs of our customers across the broadest variety of
applications, markets and geographic locations. And to ensure the highest
levels of quality we handle the vast majority of activity in-house.
Modification and customisation work at our manufacturing facility,
for example, involves no third party involvement – all processes,
from design and manufacturing through testing and shipping to aftersales
support, are owned and performed by experienced and qualified Arrow
personnel. |
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
Whether it's an off-the-shelf part, a modified
standard product or a fully custom solution, Arrow has the products,
expertise, experience and capabilities to turn a specification into
a deliverable on time and within budget. |

Off-the-Shelf
Power Supply Solutions |

As the following pages
illustrate, Arrow offers an extensive Linecard of power conversion
solutions from some of the world's leading power manufacturers,
including Astec, Artesyn, C&D Technologies and Tyco Electronics.
The company also offers a range of standard power supply products from
Power One. |
|
| |
| From sub-1W DC/DC converters to high power AC/DC supplies,
the Arrow Linecard caters for the broadest possible range of AC/DC
and DC/DC conversion requirements. AC/DC power supplies cover power
ratings from 16W to 18kW, and include units designed for specific applications
such as medical equipment or DIN rail mounting. Configurable, modular
supplies with high levels of built in monitoring and control functionality
further simplify the specification of implementation of optimised solutions.
DC/DC converters comprise isolated and non-isolated Point-Of-Load (POL)
devices, cover many standard form factors, and include POLA™,
DOSA™, and other power delivery solutions for the latest processor
and memory technologies. |

Of course we recognise
that, even with a Linecard as broad as Arrow's, there will always
be some power conversion applications where a non-standard solution
is required. This is where Arrow's services for providing modified
and fully customised power supply services can offer real benefits. |
|
| |
| Modification and customisation services include everything
from the ‘fine tuning' of existing products to the design,
development and delivery of a fully customised supply. In addition,
Arrow's services also provide for the configuration of ‘modular' supplies,
such as those from Astec and Power One, to meet specific requirements
in terms of outputs, power ratings, performance and control and monitoring
functionality. |
| |
| Arrow's customisation and configuration services are performed
by in-house design engineers based at the company's UL-approved
manufacturing facility in Fremont, California. This facility, which
is the largest of its kind in North America, has been operating for
over thirty years and has helped make Arrow the leading power supply
distributor in the US. |
