Emerson Network Power Introduces Wall-Mount AC-DC Adapters with Medical & ITE Approvals


New Products Oct 05, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

Emerson Network Power announced two new wall-mount switching power supplies with medical and IT equipment safety approvals. The DA12-M (12W) and DA18-M (18W) adapters are available in both fixed and interchangeable ac plug configurations and meet stringent Energy Star Level V efficiency standards. The Level V efficiency mark corresponds to specific demonstrated minimum active and no-load efficiency levels and a power factor requirement.

The Emerson Network Power DA12-M is available with 5 or 12V outputs. The DA18-M has a 15V output and in its interchangeable version, the US and EU plugs can be inserted straight or at a 90-degree angle. Both models feature universal 90 – 264Vac inputs in multiple ac plug configurations. US, UK, EU and AU plugs are available on all models, with C8 available for the interchangeable versions only.

The DA12-M and DA18-M feature a slim form factor – enabling the use of multiple adapters in dual wall outlet configurations. To ensure best-in-class power reliability, the new power adapters feature comprehensive protections against overvoltage, overtemperature and short-circuit/overload conditions. The flexible power adapters also support a wide range of ambient operating temperatures from 0 to 40°C, have a ground leakage maximum current of 100µA at 50/60 Hz and provide constant voltage/current output. In addition, the adapters comply with rigorous EN55022-B and FCC part 15 Level B EMC standards for conducted noise, feature built-in EMI filtering (CISPR 22 Class B), and boast an extensive array of ITE and medical safety approvals including UL, cUL, TUV, AS/NZS, CB and CE certifications. They are also fully Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) compliant per EU directive 2002/95/EC.
