Power Supplies

POWER SUPPLIES

Jane Kits offer several different power supplies for use with our plating kits and supplies. All our complete Electroplating Kits include a power supply. Our 4, 10, 20 and 30 litre Electroplating Kits include the 5 amp power supply unit and connecting leads. The Electroplating Kits can be purchased with the standard 5 amp or optional 15 amp power supply for the same price. You can also choose an option to modify to our compact 3.75 amp power supply or upgrade to the 40 amp power supply at an additional price.

The output or current relative to electroplating is referred to as ampere. The amount of ampere or amps/current required to plate an item is relative to the square centimeters of the item or items you wish to plate. Below is an approximate output required:

Zinc and Copper Electroplating: 1 amp will plate approx 160 cm2.

Nickel Electroplating: 1 amp will plate approx 160 cm2

Electroforming Copper: 1 amp will plate approx 66 cm2

If you wish to purchase any of the power supplies listed separately from the Electroplating Kits, please note you will need to add the positive and negative connecting leads which are available on our website in the Plating Supplies section. (this does not apply to the 3.75amp, 5amp, and 40amp Power Supplies, which include the leads). All our complete Electroplating Kits will include the relevant mains power supply leads.

3.75 Amp Power Supply

This compact adjustable power supply is designed for our Gold Plating Kits. This is the ultimate power source for technicians and hobbyists without much space on their workbench. It has all the features of an exceptionally accurate power source, in a lightweight case barely as big as a multimeter. Digital controls and a large LCD display provide accurate control. The supply can be operated in constant current or constant voltage modes, up to a maximum of 50W. It’s short circuit protected with banana plug sockets for power output, and it conveniently provides two 2A USB charging outlets too.

The maximum current output is 3.75 ampere continuous.

5 Amp Power Supply

This slimline 5 Amp power supply provides up to 80W of power, still plenty of grunt for many smaller Electroplating Kits. It is an ideal power supply for 4 or 10 Litre size Electroplating baths. It is also ideal for Electroforming and Gold Plating. It provides constant current and constant voltage options. This allows total control of critical ampere delivery which is not a feature of some of our other power supplies. Simply select your power range, then adjust the controls to obtain your desired outputs. It has a variable output and current from 0 to 5A.

The maximum current output is 5 ampere continuous.

15 Amp Power Supply

This is a switch mode laboratory type power supply. Its compact size, lightweight, high current, high efficiency, variable output, and fan cooling make this the ideal power supply for your bench. They are protected against thermal overload and short circuit and will display a warning LED in the event of a fault condition. The current and voltage are displayed on separate backlit analog meters. Please note; this unit is Volt controllable only and can be problematic for novice platers.

The maximum current output is 18 ampere, 15 ampere continuous.

40 Amp Power Supply

This high powered dual controlled switchmode power supply will deliver up to 40 amps. This allows total control of critical ampere delivery which is a must for electroplating. It has a variable output voltage from 1 to 15VDC and variable current from 0 to 40A. It features overload, short circuit, over temperature and tracking over voltage protected. Output voltage and current are displayed on large, easily read seven segment LED displays and incorporates an intelligent fan control program that checks the fan at power on and adapts the right speed to ensure a quiet and efficient operation. The maximum current output is 40 amperes continuous. Incredibly light, weighing only 2.9Kgs. Includes mains power cable and positive and negative power cables.

The maximum current output is 40 ampere continuous.

Larger power supplies are available upon request. POA
