The ST-PD5U is the ideal choice where power distribution from a current-limited switching power supply is needed. It is suitable for powering up to five modules from a single power supply. The current limiting circuitry in many switching power supplies will cause the supply to shut down upon power-up when a high current capacitive load is connected. Upon application of power, the ST-PD5U ramps the voltage up, charging any load capacitance as quickly as possible, then switching full voltage to the load. If reverse polarity is connected to the input, the ST-PD5U disconnects the load until the condition is corrected.
In system design, various modules are frequently operated from a single power supply. Good engineering practice requires that the power wiring to each module originate at the power supply output. The ST-PD5U serves as the power source for each of five modules. A single ST-PD5U can provide power to RDL's floating modules. A separate ST-PD5U can provide power to ground-referenced modules. (Do not attempt to intermix floating and ground-referenced modules from a single ST-PD5U.)
Wherever power distribution from a switching power supply is needed, the ST-PD5U is the ideal choice. Use the ST-PD5U combined with other RDL RACK-UP®, STICK-ON®, Flat-Pak™ or TX™ series products as part of a complete audio/video system.

STICK-ONs are the original application-specific modules for the A/V, recording and broadcast industries. Module functions include signal detection, switching, pre-amplification, format conversion, line driving, power amplification, mixing, distribution, gain control, equalization, routing and more. Each STICK-ON is an ultra-compact module engineered to provide higher performance and longer life than other industry products. STICK-ON modules are solid encapsulated hybrid circuits in durable industrial black plastic enclosures (1.55", 3.94 cm x 3", 7.62 cm x 0.65", 1.65 cm) with clear bold white lettering for the terminal block connections, recessed trimming controls and switches.
Since RDL first originated application-specific modules, STICK-ONs have led the industry in economical, high-performance and cost-effective long life solutions in system designs. Multiple STICK-ON modules can be interconnected to form all or part of an A/V system. A single STICK-ON module may be mounted right where its function is needed, often to add an input, output, or gain adjustment to existing equipment. STICK-ON modules allow customizing an A/V system to precisely match users’ needs. Adding STICK-ONs to an existing system can extend system life by adding updated features, resulting in considerable cost savings. A complete range of backboard and rack mounting options is available for systems comprised of multiple STICK-ON modules.
The technology used in STICK-ON modules has been regularly updated over the years to insure industry-leading performance. Functions and features provided by STICK-ONs, since their introduction, are still available today. This continuity in product offering and support makes STICK-ON modules the preferred long-term resource for system design solutions. STICK-ON SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
