The Omron S8VKS06024 is a DIN-rail-mounted switching power supply from the S8VK-S series, delivering 60 W at 24 VDC and 2.5 A from a single-phase AC or DC input. It accepts a wide input range — 85 to 264 VAC, 265 to 300 VAC, or 90 to 350 VDC — so it handles both 120 V and 240 V line feeds without a jumper change, and also runs on a nominal DC bus. That 2.5 A output is the continuous rating; peak current hits 3 A, and inrush is clamped to 32 A to keep upstream breakers from nuisance tripping.
The IP20 finger-safe housing means it belongs inside a cabinet — not out on the washdown floor. Green LED on the front tells you the output is up; if the light goes out, you know the supply dropped before you start chasing a control fuse.
The 60 W output at 24 VDC is sized for a handful of small loads — a couple of sensors, a small PLC, a relay bank. Efficiency hits 89% at 230 VAC input, which keeps heat buildup low in a sealed cabinet. Hold-up time is 20 ms minimum at full load (95 ms at lighter load), enough to ride through a half-cycle dropout and keep a controller from cycling. Output ripple and noise is capped at 190 mV, clean enough for most digital I/O and analog transmitters, though a sensitive analog card may want an extra filter on the rail.
Protection and flexibility
Built-in overload and overvoltage protection means it shuts down before a shorted load takes out the supply. It can be paralleled for higher current or run in series for a higher voltage rail — handy if you need 48 V for a small servo or want to share the load across two supplies without a special ORing module. Diagnostic LEDs give a quick visual on output status, which saves time on the route when you're checking a panel.
