XP Power announced the ECE80 series of 80 W, single output AC-DC encapsulated power supply modules with high efficiency and low no-load input power. The range is available in three formats for increased flexibility: the standard part comes as a PCB mount version; adding –S gives a chassis mount version with screw terminals; and lastly the DIN rail version with screw terminals is available by adding –SD.
With their peak load capability up to 130% of nominal rated power output for 30 seconds, ECE80 modules are able to power short-term, higher-power loads, so designers may not need to specify a higher rated and possible physically larger power supply. The PCB mount module measures just 91,4 x 45,72 x 28,0 mm and the chassis mount module measures 113,0 x 47,5 x 28,5 mm. Five standard output voltages are available from 12 to 48 V d.c.
The modules’ <0,3 W no-load power consumption and efficiency figure of up to 89% helps designers meet current green requirements in their end applications, and their class II construction means that no ground (earth) connection is required, again simplifying design.
With their wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C (with no derating until +50°C), ECE80 modules are able to operate in most environments with no need for additional heatsinking or airflow. The modules meet Class B conducted and radiated EMC limits without any additional components, and are UL/CSA/EN/IEC 60950-1 safety agency approved.
