Ault Offers New PW132 Power Supply

September 02, 2003 by Jeff Shepard

Ault Inc. (Minneapolis, MN) announced the launch of its PW132 101W power supply, which provides power to feature-rich electronic devices in the 100W range while remaining affordable and fulfilling safety certification requirements. Original equipment manufacturers for medical, communications and industrial devices are reducing product size by designing in an external power supply, which moves the power supply outside the device. Switch-mode external power supplies in the 100W category benefit a broad range of applications, including medical monitors/displays, point-of-sale terminals, wireless local area networks and satellite receivers.

For external power supply safety and performance, the 100Vac to 240Vac input power supply complies with EMI/RFI regulations and features regulated output with low ripple. Typical electrical efficiencies are 85% and mean time before failure exceeds 100,000 hours. Modified and custom designs also are available. The CE-compliant power supply measures 9in x 2.9in x 2in (229mm x 74mm x 51mm), weighs 24oz (684g), and carries pending safety agency approvals for UL/C-ULus 1950 and TUV EN60950.

The new PW132 is available for under $27 in 1,000-unit quantities. There is a one-year warranty. The PW132 is available immediately in a 24V model, with a 48V model in development.
