Comparing industrial power supplies transformers for a control cabinet usually starts with voltage, current, and mounting. In the DIN rail category, two new options give you the same core output: the Mean Well EDR-120-24 at a lower listed price, and the MW NDR-120-24 at a higher listed price. A $17 gap separates them, so the real question is whether the extra cost buys you the specifications you need.
Quick Verdict
For most panels, the Mean Well EDR-120-24 is the lower-priced choice. It supplies 24 V at 5 A on a DIN rail just like the MW NDR-120-24, while sitting at the lower end of the price spread. The NDR-120-24 costs more and brings a fuller set of specs, but the core output stays the same. If you are adding a new 24 V supply to an existing cabinet, the lower listed price is likely enough to tip the decision.
Both supplies are new and designed to mount on a DIN rail, so the mounting method is not the differentiator here; the price and the level of detail are.

Where Each Product Wins
- The Mean Well EDR-120-24 wins on price: it sits at the lower end of the specified range, so you get the same output for less money.
- The MW NDR-120-24 wins on specification detail: it spells out the inrush current rating and nominal power rating, which is helpful when you need to confirm fit.
Product Notes
DIN Rail Power Supply, EDR-120-24, Mean Well, 24VDC , 5A, 120W,Input :100-240VAC
The Mean Well EDR-120-24 is the lower-priced option in this pair. Its price sits at the lower end of the spread, and the title names the EDR-120-24 model plus a 100-240VAC input range. If your panel just needs a new rail-mounted power source, this model gives you the essentials: DIN rail compatibility, new condition, and the EDR-120-24 model number. For many control-panel installs, the lower listed price is enough to make it the straightforward choice. The limitation is that the spec list is concise. Compared side by side, the NDR-120-24 supplies extra callouts such as inrush current, so this unit is best when you don't need those specifics. Keep it in mind for simple replacement jobs where the old supply used a DIN rail mount.
5A Industrial DIN Rail Power Supply NDR-120-24 ouput 24 Volt 5 Amp 240 Watt NEW
The MW NDR-120-24 is the more documented supply. It costs more than the EDR-120-24, but it includes a blue finish, an indoor/outdoor installation area, a 5A inrush current rating, and a 120W nominal power rating, all in a DIN Rail Mount package. The title also spells out the output in plain language, making it easy to confirm the basics at a glance. If your project requires a fuller specification sheet before you buy, this model gives you more to work with. The trade-off is the price: it sits at the upper end of the spread, and that extra cost doesn't change the core output. Choose it when you want the extra specification detail and the blue NDR-120-24 format. The extra documentation can be worth the higher price when you need to match a specific part number or installation area.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you're building or repairing a standard control panel and want the lower listed price, go with the Mean Well EDR-120-24. If you prefer a power supply with a fuller set of listed specifications, or you specifically need the NDR-120-24 model family, the MW NDR-120-24 is worth the higher price. For most installations where the mounting style is already DIN rail, the EDR-120-24 gives you the core function at the lower price.
