C&D Technologies Inc. (Tucson, AZ) introduced its new ac-dc front-end power supply, the D1U-W-1600-12-HC, which delivers up to 1,600 W (220 Vac), 1,200 W (110 Vac) from its 12 V output. The 1U high unit has a power density of 17.5 W/in³ and delivers efficient and reliable performance. Typical applications for the D1U-W-1600-12-HC include blade servers, workstations, storage systems, and any system utilizing a 12 V distributed power architecture. The unit utilizes high-density dc-dc packaging techniques to maximize space efficiency. Planar magnetic devices are used to provide better quality and tighter process control.

The D1U-W-1600-12-HC is available with standby voltages of either 3.3 V or 5 V. Key features of the comprehensive specification include N+1 redundancy; hot-swapability; active current share; an I2C bus; status indicators; and over-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection. Overall dimensions of the unit are 12.0 in x 4.75 in x 1.6 in. The operating temperature range is from 0°C to +50°C. The enclosure incorporates cooling fans. Three D1U-W-1600-12-HC units fit into an optional 1U high, 19 in wide powershelf, for a total system power of 4,800 W.

Unit pricing for the D1U-W-1600-12-HC is $438.20 (in OEM quantities) for 1,000-piece quantities. Delivery is from stock to 14 weeks.
