Brick power supply means that the power module is also called brick power supply because of its small size and high power, and its shape after modular packaging is like a brick. It is one of the power modules.

Full-brick power supplies are high-power power modules with a wide range of uses. During assembly, the upper and lower covers are closed to form a cavity, the PCB circuit board is installed in the cavity, and then the potting glue is introduced into the cavity from the through hole of the upper cover, and the potting glue flows in the cavity to seal the PCBA circuit. The board is covered to form a small module power supply.

The half-brick power supply concept was introduced by major international companies and has now become a globally recognized power module product standard. The standard includes dimensions, pinout, input voltage range of 36V-75V, and output power of 50W-150W. The maximum power density of this series can be as high as 54.8W per cubic inch.

Full brick, half brick, 1/4 brick, 1/8 brick, 1/16 brick power supply means to describe the appearance shape and size of the module, the half brick size is half of the full brick, and so on. Specifically as follows:

The size of the full brick power supply is 116.8*61*12.7mm;

The size of the half-brick power supply is 61.0*57.9*12.7mm;

Quarter brick power supply size is 57.9*36.8*8.1mm;

One-eighth brick power supply size is 57.9*22.9*10.4mm.

With the development of the electronics industry, the market has put forward new requirements for power modules, which require the smallest size, improved efficiency and stable and reliable operation. The latest 1/16th brick power supplies can save even more board space by replacing converters in 1/8th brick packages.
