C&D Technologies Intros Quikflex Power Supplies
C&D Technologies Inc. (Tucson, AZ) has expanded its range of ac-dc power supplies with the new Quikflex Series of modular products that has almost limitless configuration options and that offers typical shipping times of under a week for first customer-configured units. The Quikflex Series will reduce time-to-market while enabling the specification of customized ac-dc power supplies that are fully optimized to individual application requirements. In addition, the flexibility offered by Quikflex allows engineers to accommodate specification changes that may occur during the development cycle without the need for re-sourcing or re-qualification.
Providing power ratings options of up to 1,000 W, the Quikflex Series enables users to configure between 1 and 12 independent, isolated outputs with standard output voltages of 1.45 V to 28 V. Seven adjustable output modules provide current rating options of 3 A, 10 A, 12 A, 15 A, 20 A, 30 A and 80 A. In addition to rapid production turn-around, time-to-market is further reduced by the fact that each delivered unit conforms to EN61000-3-2 for power-factor correction, and comes with full CE and UL approval.
Products in the Quikflex family require no minimum load and provide line and load regulation of 10.1 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. Ripple and noise performance is specified as the greater of 1.0 percent or 100 mV peak-to-peak. Protection for over-current, over-voltage and over-temperature conditions is standard, while remote sense functionality is also a standard feature on single-output modules. Four-slot Quikflex ac-dc power supplies have dimensions of 270 mm x 127 mm x 65 mm. Six-slot versions measure 270 mm x 187 mm x 65 mm. The operating temperature for all units is –200 °C to +700 °C.
