Mini-Box.com is shipping a tiny power supply targeting small form-factor PCs and embedded computers. At just 31 x 45 x 20mm, the picoPSU power supply is roughly the size of two AA batteries. Typical applications include mini PCs, smart appliances, and robots, according to the company.

Mini-Box.com claims picoPSU is the “world's tiniest power supply.”

Despite its miniscule size, however, the picoPSU is rated at 120 Watts power output. It operates from a single 12V DC input power source, does not require a cooling fan, and delivers over 96 percent efficiency, according to the company.

Mini-Box.com says the Picopsu is compatible with most standard and small form-factor PC motherboards, incuding the popular mini-ITX mini-motherboards. It plugs directly into the motherboard's standard ATX power connector (as shown above), eliminating the wires that normally run between an ATX power supply and the motherboard.
