Abstract

A hermetic modular power supply is a lumpish power supply which is completely enclosed and fixed as a heating unit formed by a circuit board and electronic elements, with a heat conductive and dissipative material. A modular base has a plural set of power plug holes, and at least one power supply can be plugged into the power plug holes, such that the power supply can be quickly and conveniently plugged into the power plug holes for use, selectively. In addition, the power supply has functions of improving heat dissipation efficiency and prolonging a lifetime of usage of the heating unit.

Claims
