Terminal block connector option for power supplies
Emerson Network Power has expanded its widely used Astec LP25 and LP40 switching power supply families with a new terminal block connector option.
With power density of up to 300 W/in3, the 150W 5:1 fixed-ratio sixteenth-brick models are available in AED baseplate and ALD open-frame configurations.
The 180W 4:1 fixed ratio eighth-brick is available in ALO open-frame construction.
Both converter packages operate from 36 to 55V input range and are aimed for Intermediate Bus Applications for front-end DPA use.
These models are well suited for systems that can tolerate quasi line regulated distributed power typically employed in low to mid range routers, blade servers and other equipment in the datacomm market.
All of the robust devices have a mean time between failures (MTBF) of at least 1 million hours, a wide operating temperature range of -40degC to +85degC and feature high capacitive load limit on startup as well as input overvoltage, output overcurrent and overtemperature protection; up to 1500VDC input-to-output isolation and undervoltage lockout.
An output enable pin can use positive or negative logic.
The devices are available now, with prices starting at $29 for sixteenth-brick AED/ALD models or $34 for ALO devices in OEM quantities.
Designed to meet international safety and performance standards, these units also comply with RoHS standards.
