HES 2001M Plug-In Bridge Rectifier for Electric Strikes

The HES 2001M Plug-In Bridge Rectifier is an essential power conditioning accessory designed to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) for use with HES electric strikes. Rated at 35V, 1 Amp, this compact plug-in unit includes a built-in MOV (metal oxide varistor) for transient voltage suppression and a self-resettable fuse for overcurrent protection — two features that help safeguard connected electric strike hardware from power anomalies that can cause premature failure.

Many electric strikes are available in AC/DC dual-voltage configurations, but the locking solenoid inside the strike always performs best on clean DC power. The 2001M bridges that gap: connect your AC power source on one side and deliver regulated DC output to the strike. This is especially useful in retrofit and upgrade applications where the existing power supply outputs AC and the installer needs a quick, code-friendly solution without replacing the power supply entirely.

Key Benefits

• AC-to-DC conversion — 35V, 1A rated output delivers clean DC power to the electric strike solenoid
• Built-in MOV — suppresses voltage transients and line spikes that can damage sensitive solenoid windings
• Self-resettable fuse — automatically resets after an overcurrent event, reducing service calls and nuisance outages
• Plug-in design — fast, tool-free installation in the field; no splicing or separate enclosure required
• Compact form factor — fits in tight door frame and junction box installations typical of commercial access control wiring

Applications

• AC-powered electric strike installations requiring DC conversion at the strike
• Retrofit access control upgrades where existing AC power supply cannot be replaced
• Commercial door openings with HES 1500, 1600, 4500, 5000, 5200, 5300, 8000, and 9000 series electric strikes
• Any application where transient voltage protection and overcurrent protection are required at the strike level

Important Compatibility Note: The HES 2001M is not recommended for use with the HES 1006 Series electric strike. Verify compatibility with your specific strike model before ordering. For installations where maximum strike life and an extended manufacturer warranty are priorities, the HES 2005M3 in-line power controller offers additional voltage regulation, a 25% inrush voltage reduction, and other advanced power management features worth considering alongside or instead of the 2001M.
