November 26, 2006 by Jeff Shepard

Astrodyne Corp. announced two new series of ultra-miniature, open-frame modular switching power supplies. In a small mechanical footprint measuring only 2 x 4 x 1.2, both the ASM40 and ASM60 series provide power densities >6W/in3, offering an economical 40W/60W power solution. Designed to meet the space and performance parameters needed in medical and dental instrumentation and systems, the compact ASM40/ASM60 series accept universal inputs ranging from 85-265Vac. Both the ASM40 and the ASM60 series are available in eleven models which provide single and dual outputs of 5 to 48Vdc.

The ASM40/ASM60 series feature an integral power-good LED indicator and output adjustment potentiometer, and operate over an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50°C without forced cooling or output power derating. All models contain overvoltage and short circuit protection circuitry and internal input filtering. All models also feature Molex-style I/O connectors. The ASM40/ASM60 series are fully approved to UL/EN60601-1 medical safety specifications. Commercially approved, non-medical versions are also available. Prices start at $18 in OEM quantities and delivery is stock to 6 weeks ARO.
