Imagine your mini pc works just as well at 12 V (a car battery) as it does at 24 V (a forklift) or 48 V (a telecom rack). That “anything-goes” super-power is exactly what a wide-voltage (wide-V) module gives an industrial computer.
What It Is
A tiny onboard circuit that eats almost any DC voltage—usually 9-36 V or 9-75 V—and turns it into the clean, steady power the motherboard expects. No extra adapters, no melted fuses.
Real-Life Pay-Off
• On the factory floor: A conveyor system jumps between 12 V battery backups and 24 V line power. One wide-V box keeps the line moving.
• In a solar-powered cabin: Panel voltage swings from 10 V at dusk to 30 V at noon. The same fanless PC keeps logging data.
• On a city bus: The alternator spikes to 28 V when the engine revs. The ticketing kiosk never blinks.
Our industrial PCs support wide-V modules expanded-- just wire them up and forget about brownouts or blown boards
