DigiKey has launched its new Custom Power Supply Configuration Tool, giving engineers a faster, self-service way to design tailored power-supply units online.
DigiKey Custom Power Supply Configuration Tool Debuts
Latest Developments
The DigiKey Custom Power Supply Configuration Tool enables users to specify power requirements such as voltage, current, and output count. The tool then produces a ready-to-assemble design that can ship within days—dramatically reducing traditional lead times. Initial configurations support Vox Power’s NEVO+ and VCCM series.
Background and Context
The design and procurement of custom power supplies often involves lengthy coordination with multiple vendors. DigiKey’s new tool seeks to streamline that process by offering digital configuration options directly on its platform. As a key distributor in the electronics sector, DigiKey is focused on simplifying the design-to-deployment workflow for professionals and organizations.
Reactions and Expert Opinions
“This tool allows our customers to configure their own power supply independently,” said Heather Fulara, senior director at DigiKey. “It reduces the time it takes to acquire a configured unit, which supports more efficient workflows.” Marco Prinsloo, co-owner of Vox Power, added, “We trust DigiKey’s expertise in making our customers’ designs come together.”
Figures and Data Insights
- Tool supports custom voltage, current, and multi-output configurations.
- Initial product lines include NEVO+ and VCCM series from Vox Power.
- Orders based on the configurator can ship within a matter of days.
- DigiKey plans to add more suppliers and product categories over time.
Outlook and Next Steps
DigiKey aims to expand the configurator by onboarding additional product families and supplier partners. The company’s broader strategy supports the growing demand for B2B self-service tools in electronics design and procurement. The move aligns with ongoing digital transformation in the engineering and manufacturing industries.
The launch reflects a broader shift toward flexible, engineer-driven solutions in the electronics supply chain—helping firms stay agile and accelerate time-to-market.
