Ultra compact 40 Watt AC/DC power supply available in single and multi outputs

XP Power today announced its ECP40 series of ultra low profile compact open frame 40 Watt AC/DC power supplies for industrial or medical applications. Within the range a total of 14 models are available comprising single, dual and triple output models. Measuring just 76.2 x 50.8 x 23.0 mm (3 x 2 x 0.9 inches) for the single output models and 88.9 x 50.8 x 26.0 mm (3.5 x 2 x 1.02 inches) for the multi output models, the low profile units provide a high power density starting at 7.4 Watts per cubic inch. This power density rating is believed to be the best in class compared to similar units in this power range. In addition, the ECP40 is highly efficient, up to 90%, and has a no load power consumption of less than 0.3W, aiding designers ensure their end equipment meets the stringent criteria required by leading energy efficiency standards such as Energy Star and the EU's ErP directive. ^*1

Single output models provide all the popular output voltages from +5 to + 48 VDC. Dual output units offer combinations of +5 VDC and + 12, + 15 or 24 VDC outputs. Triple output units add +12, -12 or -15 VDC options. All models accommodate the wide universal input range of 85 - 264 VAC. The ECP40 also features a peak load capability that allows the power supply to deliver up to 130% of rated power for a maximum of 30 seconds. This makes the series ideal for designs that require a high power output for a short duration, such as starting a motor, without having a specify a higher rated, larger and more costly power supply. Suiting most operating temperature environments, from -10 to +70 degrees C, the convection cooled units require no additional heat sinking or a forced air flow making them ideal for designs where space is at a premium. Full output power is available up to +50 degrees C.

The ECP40 series meet medical safety standard IEC60601-1 and the IEC60950 specification for IT and industrial equipment. The units also comply with the EN55022 level B standard for both conducted and radiated emissions without the need for additional filtering components. Overvoltage, overload and short-circuit protection features are included as standard across the whole range.

The units are available from Farnell or direct from XP Power and come with a 3 year warranty.
