The HLK-PM01 power module offers a compact and cost-effective solution by integrating AC-DC conversion, isolation, and protection features into a small PCB-mount package. This article will discuss the HLK-PM01 datasheet details, pin configuration, specifications, working principles, applications, advantages, and design considerations.

The HLK-PM01 is a compact AC-DC power supply module designed to convert 100–240V AC (including 230V mains) into a stable 5V DC output. It delivers up to 3W of power (600mA), making it ideal for small electronic circuits and embedded systems. This module uses switch-mode technology, allowing high efficiency and low heat generation in a small, PCB-mountable package.
The HLK-PM01 features isolated output, overload protection, short-circuit protection, and low ripple noise for stable performance. Because it connects directly to mains voltage, proper insulation and safe PCB layout are important during design.

How the HLK-PM01 AC-DC power module converts high-voltage AC input into a stable 5V DC output for low-voltage electronics? On the left side of the circuit, the AC mains enters through connector P1. The fuse (F_curr) protects the circuit from overcurrent, while the thermal fuse (F_therm) provides protection against overheating. The MOV (metal oxide varistor) connected across the AC lines absorbs voltage spikes and surge transients, helping protect the HLK-PM01 from damage caused by lightning or switching surges.
The AC input is then applied to pins 1 and 2 of the HLK-PM01 module. Inside the module, the AC voltage is rectified, filtered, and regulated through an internal switching power supply circuit. It converts 220–230V AC into a regulated 5V DC output with up to 3W power capability.
On the output side, capacitors C1 (10µF) and C2 (100nF) are placed across +Vo and -Vo to reduce ripple and high-frequency noise. The larger capacitor smooths low-frequency ripple, while the smaller capacitor filters high-frequency switching noise. The regulated 5V output is then delivered to connector P2, providing stable DC power for microcontrollers or other low-voltage devices.
