High-Efficiency Medical-Grade Open Frame Power Supplies

At Haredata Electronics, we are always on the lookout for the latest innovations in power supply technology. That’s why we are excited to introduce the new and improved FRIWO HERC range—a cutting-edge series of medical-grade open frame power supplies designed to deliver reliable, high-performance power for a wide range of applications.


With models including the HERC 60, HERC 175, and HERC 250, this series offers unparalleled efficiency of up to 94% and impressive convection-cooled power output. These units are available in 12V, 24V, 36V (HERC 175 only), and 48V variants, providing plenty of options to suit your project’s specific requirements.

Let’s explore the key features of the FRIWO HERC series and what makes them stand out in the world of open frame power supplies.


Key Features of the FRIWO HERC Range


Medical-Grade Certifications for Peace of Mind

The HERC series is built to meet the most stringent safety and efficiency standards. Each model is certified to IEC 62368-1, ensuring compliance with modern safety standards for audio, video, IT, and communication equipment. Additionally, these power supplies are fully certified to IEC 60601-1, making them ideal for use in medical applications where patient and operator safety is paramount.


Exceptional Efficiency—Up to 94%

Energy efficiency is a critical factor in modern power supply design, and the HERC range delivers industry-leading performance with up to 94% efficiency. This not only reduces energy consumption but also minimises heat generation, leading to longer lifespans for both the power supply and the equipment it powers.


High Convection-Cooled Power Output

One of the standout features of the HERC range is its impressive convection-cooled power output. Unlike many power supplies that rely on forced-air cooling, these units can operate efficiently without the need for additional fans, making them ideal for noise-sensitive applications and reducing the risk of mechanical failure.


Multiple Voltage Options to Suit Your Needs

The HERC power supplies are available in 12V, 24V, 36V (175W only), and 48V versions, ensuring you have the right power solution for your application. Whether you're designing for medical devices, industrial automation, telecommunications, or IT equipment, there is a HERC power supply to match your requirements.

  • Output Voltage Options: 12V, 24V, 36V, 48V
  • Efficiency: Up to 94%
  • Certification: IEC 62368-1, IEC 60601-1
  • Cooling: Convection or force cooled


With no need for forced-air cooling, the HERC 175 is perfect for applications where silent operation and reliable thermal performance are essential.




HERC 250 – Maximum Performance & Efficiency

CHECK ME OUT!

The HERC 250 is the most powerful unit in the range, delivering up to an impressive 250W power. Designed for demanding applications, this model ensures stable and efficient power delivery while maintaining low heat output.


  • Output Voltage Options: 12V, 24V, 48V
  • Efficiency: Up to 94%
  • Certification: IEC 62368-1, IEC 60601-1
  • Cooling: Convection or force cooled


If your project requires high power output without the drawbacks of forced-air cooling, the HERC 250 is the ideal solution.

The micro USB connector has been the most common connector for plug top devices for the last few years, but as with everything the times are changing. This is where the Type-C USB has started to step in, with more and more pieces of tech coming with a Type-C charger rather than the old favourite. So the question is why? If the old micro USB isn’t broken then why ‘fix’ it?
