Powerpax adds 18W unit to lugged power supplies

The lugged series of miniature desktop power supplies includes models to meet power requirements from 6W to 18W (with no minimum load) and with regulated outputs of 5VDC to 24VDC.

The units feature an integral power cord, which removes the risk of accidental disconnection from the mains supply.

A UK mains lead is fitted as standard but European, US, Australian or bare-ended mains-lead options are available on request.

All units come with a 2.1mm x 5.5mm x 12mm female barrel connector polarity positive centre as standard, but a list of other DC output connector options are also available.

The 18W unit measures 92.2mm x 49.8mm x 26.3mm including the fixing lugs (or 72.2mm x 49.8mm x 26.3mm without the lugs) and is believed to be the smallest external power supply available at this power rating.

The lugs allow the case to be fixed down to any flat surface, making them suitable for a range of applications, particularly CCTV and light-emitting-diode (LED) lighting requirements.

All models feature a universal mains input of 90VAC to 264VAC and 47Hz to 63Hz and meet energy-efficiency level IV requirements.

All of the power supplies in this range feature short-circuit, over-voltage and over-current protection with automatic recovery.

This series has been designed to provide excellent reliability and has a minimum meantime between failures (MTBF) of 50Khr.

This range is compliant to UL and CE safety standards and is tested and compliant with EMC requirements.

The product also complies with the requirements of the RoHS directive.

Powerpax offers low minimum-order quantities across the range and provides a free branding service for orders of 500 pieces or more.
