It prevents the start-up shutdowns that switching supplies can suffer when a high-current capacitive load is connected.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/st-pd5u.jpg\" alt=\"RDL ST-PD5U - 24 Vdc Soft-Start Power Distributor, 5 Outputs\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn power-up, the ST-PD5U ramps the voltage up to charge load capacitance quickly, then switches full voltage to the load, and it disconnects the load if reverse polarity is applied until the condition is corrected. Total load current across the five outputs must not exceed 2 A, and POWER and FAULT LEDs show supply status and overloads. Use one ST-PD5U for floating modules and a separate unit for ground-referenced modules, as RDL advises against mixing them.
