Power supply TACENS Anima APTII500P 500 W TFX, 24-pin ATX, non-modular, black

The Tacens Anima APTII500P 500W TFX power supply is a compact PSU designed for small form factor PCs and workstations. It delivers up to 500 W of continuous power in a TFX chassis and features a 24‑pin ATX motherboard connector, active cooling, and a black finish for a discreet, professional appearance. The unit is engineered to provide stable, efficient power in space‑constrained builds while supporting standard AC mains of 200–240 V at 50/60 Hz.

Advantages

The APTII500P combines a slim TFX form factor with high efficiency and modern SMD manufacturing to reduce energy loss and improve thermal behaviour. Flat cables simplify routing and improve internal airflow for cleaner builds, while integrated protection circuits (OPP, OVP, UVP, SCP) and TÜV Rheinland certification ensure reliable and safe operation under typical PC workloads.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Small form factor desktop PCs and HTPCs
• Compact workstations and professional systems
• Media centers and home servers with limited internal space
• Upgrades where a 24‑pin ATX connection and 500 W output are required

How to use

Install the APTII500P into a compatible TFX or SFF chassis following the case manufacturer’s instructions. Connect the 24‑pin ATX connector to the motherboard and attach any additional device power connectors as required for drives or peripherals. Verify the AC mains voltage is within the specified 200–240 V range before powering on. Ensure adequate airflow around the unit and route the flat cables to avoid blocking case vents.

Recommendations

For optimal long‑term performance, use the power supply within its rated load and ambient temperature ranges, maintain unobstructed airflow in the case, and periodically check cable routing and system dust levels. Avoid continuous operation near the PSU’s maximum rated power to extend component life.
