SMPSid

SMPSid is a term used in multiple domains and, as of this article, has no single, universally accepted definition. The acronym appears in electronics catalogs and IT data schemes, often as an identifier that helps distinguish specific items or records. Because usage is informal and context-dependent, the meaning of SMPSid varies by industry, company, and data model.

In electronics, SMPSid is sometimes used as shorthand for the catalog or model identifier of a switched-mode power supply (SMPS). Manufacturers and distributors assign these identifiers to differentiate products by output voltage, current, regulation, efficiency, and form factor. Since there is no standardized SMPS product identifier, the exact interpretation of SMPSid depends on the vendor or database. Users should consult the corresponding data sheet or catalog entry to map SMPSid to its electrical specifications.

In information technology and data management, SMPSid can appear as a field name or key representing a unique identifier within a system. The structure and semantics of SMPSid—whether numeric, alphanumeric, or a GUID—are defined by the application’s data model rather than by an external standard. In practice, SMPSid functions as an opaque key used to retrieve records associated with an asset, component, or record related to power supplies or their data.

Because SMPSid lacks universal standardization, users should verify its definition in the relevant documentation whenever encountering the term. See also related identifiers such as part numbers, model numbers, stock-keeping units, GUIDs, and other unique identifiers.
