Applications
Open-frame linear power supplies of this type were standard industrial and OEM components in the late 1970s and 1980s, designed to be integrated into larger equipment assemblies rather than used as standalone bench supplies. They were commonly embedded in industrial machinery, instrumentation, measurement equipment, and laboratory devices manufactured in Japan during this period. The dual-voltage input design (100V/200V) gave equipment manufacturers flexibility for deployment across different regional mains standards — 100 VAC being the Japanese domestic standard, and 200 VAC serving European and international markets. The dual DC output (12V/24V) covers the two most common logic and relay drive voltages of the era. Today, units like this are sought by technicians maintaining or restoring vintage Japanese industrial and scientific equipment that uses original Kitafuji Origin power supply assemblies, as well as by hobbyists and engineers working with period-correct hardware.
This Kitafuji Origin 0038 open-frame AC-to-DC power supply is a used surplus unit pulled from a working environment. It has been visually inspected and appears to be in good physical condition overall. The transformer, capacitors, and resistors are all present and intact. The terminal block connections look complete with original wiring in place. There is some surface oxidation and dust consistent with age — this is a 1982-vintage unit. No cracks, breaks, or obviously damaged components are visible in the photos. It is being sold as an open-frame board assembly without an enclosure. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
