Calex Intros CM1.5.1000 Linear Power Supply

Calex Manufacturing Co. Inc. (Concord, CA) introduced the CM1.5.1000 linear power supply, which provides a low-noise 5 V output at up to 1 A. The unit can be powered by 100 Vac, 110 Vac, 220 Vac, 230 Vac, or 240 Vac. The CM1.5.1000 is housed in a fully encapsulated, 4 in x 2.7 in x 1.4 in plastic enclosure, which incorporates a "step-down" barrier strip allowing all connections to be made in tight quarters while protecting the barrier strip and wires from physical damage. The special clamp style barrier strip secures the wire without twisting.

The CM1.5.1000 has an output-voltage accuracy of ±0.1 percent. Noise and ripple is only 1 mV(rms). The CM1.5.1000 is isolated input to output. The isolation voltage is 1,500 V(rms). Isolation resistance is 50 MΩ. Short-circuit protection is provided through foldback current limiting. The CM1.5.1000 also has output-voltage protection that operates between 5.8 V and 6.85 V. Power must be removed to reset the over-voltage clamp. The CM1.5.1000 is suitable for use with dedicated microprocessor systems, instrument design, and test equipment. The power supply is backed by a five-year warranty.

The CM1.5.1000 is priced at $88.20 for 250-unit quantities. Units are available from stock.
