Mean Well LRS-100-5 — 5V 18A (90W) enclosed switching supply
This is the small, low-voltage member of Mean Well's LRS enclosed metal-case family — the same fanless, screw-terminal switcher line as the LRS-350-24 that powers Voron beds, but configured for 5V at 18A instead of 24V. In a 3D-printer build this is the supply you reach for when you need a clean, dedicated 5V rail: a Raspberry Pi (or CB1/CM4) running Klipper, an MCU/control board's logic supply, LED strips, fans, or other 5V accessories. It is not a bed-heater supply — for the heated bed and 24V electronics on a Voron/RatRig you want a 24V LRS unit. Use this alongside one.
The real spec (read the part number carefully)
Despite the "100" in the name, the 5V model is rated 90W, not 100W: 5V x 18A = 90W. Mean Well derates the low-voltage members of the LRS-100 series, so you get 18A at 5V, not 20A. Plan your load budget around 90W / 18A. A Pi 4 under load plus a few 5V fans and an LED strip sits comfortably inside that; this supply has plenty of headroom for typical printer 5V duties.
- Output: 5V DC, 18A, 90W
- Input: 85-264 VAC full range (no voltage-select jumper) or 120-370 VDC
- Efficiency: ~86%
- Cooling: free-air convection — fanless and silent, no fan to fail or add noise to the enclosure
- Dimensions: 129 x 97 x 30 mm — the 30 mm low-profile case, easy to tuck into an electronics bay
- Protections: short circuit, overload, over-voltage
- Output trim: on-board SVR pot for fine 5V adjustment if you need to compensate for wire drop
- Safety/EMC: UL/CUL, TUV, CB, CE
Wiring and safety — this is a bare-terminal mains unit
Be clear-eyed about what you're buying: the LRS is an open-frame-style enclosed supply with exposed screw terminals, not a sealed wall-wart. The input side carries live mains voltage on a screw terminal block. You are responsible for:
- Mains wiring to the AC terminals (L, N, earth/⏚). Earth/ground must be connected to the metal case — this is non-negotiable for safety.
- Upstream fusing and a means of disconnect. The LRS has internal short-circuit protection on its output, but it does not replace a properly rated mains fuse or breaker on the input. Fuse it.
- Strain relief and a terminal cover. A clear plastic terminal guard is included; fit it. Don't leave live screw terminals exposed inside a printer enclosure.
If you're not comfortable terminating mains-voltage screw terminals and fusing an AC input, have someone who is do the install. This is standard practice for every LRS/HDR-class supply — it's the trade-off for the compact, cheap, field-serviceable form factor.
Why this form factor
The enclosed LRS case is the workhorse choice for printer builds: a vented steel shell, convection cooling (no fan noise), screw terminals you can actually service, and a price that's hard to argue with. The slim 30 mm height makes it easy to mount flat in an electronics compartment. If you instead want a clean DIN-rail control-cabinet install, look at the HDR (ultra-slim DIN) or UHP (slim, PFC, kit-grade) families; for a fully encapsulated PCB-mount module there's the IRM series. For a 3D printer's 5V accessory rail, the LRS-100-5 is the straightforward, proven pick.
On the price
This unit is on clearance. For reference, hobby/maker resellers list the LRS-100-5 around $27 (ProtoSupplies $26.95); component distributors like Digi-Key are lower at ~$18.60 in single quantity because they don't carry it as a niche printer part. Our clearance price sits between the two — a fair maker-channel price on the way out the door.

Shipping:
US Shipping is via UPS or USPS. The way it is set up shows the least expensive options for standard, priority and express shipping. I can not take special requests for specific carriers at this time.
International shipping is mostly UPS, as I utilize Zonos/UPS integration to tally extremely accurate import and shipping costs.
I require a telephone and email with international orders and you must make yourself available to the carrier or your customs, should they require more information. If you are unreachable and the package is discarded or rerturned, I will not be responsible for rerturning your shipping cost.
If there is a problem with an international order, it is my choice to refund part or all of the order, or send a replacement.
Addresses are verified through Shopify, but the customer is still responsible for inputting their address in the correct format. Any returns or lost shipments, due to incorrectly addressed packages, are the responsibility of the customer.
