Abstract: The present invention relates, generally, to electrical power conversion devices and to the universal packaging of those devices for a wide range of applications yielding cost efficient inventory management of product lines consisting of a group of power conversion devices each with minor variations. More specifically, the present invention relates to a universal mounting frame for receiving a printed circuit board in a switch mode power supply. The universal frame is adapted for receiving an open frame or printed circuit board and securing the open frame within a plurality of known packaging configurations. To this end, only a single size printed circuit board is necessary for any type of switch mode power supply configurations, thereby, reducing costs associated with manufacture and testing.

Abstract: A plastic frame for converting a powered printed circuit board to an open frame power supply suitable for mounting on standoffs includes a ground plane that fits beneath the power supply combined with the solid plastic cover to electrically isolate the ground plane and a second printed circuit board providing the isolated ground plane with the powered printed circuit board matching standard power supply board and mounting dimensions.

Abstract: A plastic frame converts a power printed circuit board to an open frame power supply suitable for mounting on stand-offs, comprising versions of this frame with various options to attach input and output connectors and versions with solid plastic bottom to provide electrical isolation beneath the power supply and a ground plane beneath the power supply.
