Emerson Network Power has expanded its widely used Astec LP25 and LP40 switching power supply families with a new terminal block connector option These models from Astec Power feature a terminal block connection for both AC input and DC output

All of the single- and triple-output models have a 3 x 5 footprint and will deliver from 25 to 55 Watts of total power depending on the model and whether the units are convection or forced-air cooled.

Featuring universal input from 85-264 VAC, all models have adjustable outputs, remote sense, built-in EMI filtering as well as overload, over-voltage and thermal protection.

Their compact footprint makes them well suited for a variety of low-profile applications including 1U (1.75-inch) rack installations.

"With their low-profile design, small footprint and flexible connection options, these low-power switchers are suitable for a variety of uses including test and measurement, single-board computers, telecommunications and networking," according to Astec Power product line manager, Tom Tillman.

With a wide operating temperature range from zero to 50degC without derating, the new LPS models can function up to 70degC by derating the output 2.5 percent per degree C.

The also comply with IEC EN61000-3-2 harmonic and IEC EN61000-4-X susceptibility requirements.

All models have a demonstrated mean time between failures (MTBF) of over 550,000 hours at full load in 25degC ambient conditions.

They comply with international safety and performance standards including those from UL, CSA, NEMKO, CB and CE, as well as new ROHS standards.

Samples of the new models are available now with prices starting at $25.00 in OEM quantities.

The terminal block option can be ordered using a - T suffix on the model number, for example LPS42-T.
