Encapsulated 60-Watt AC-DC Supply in PCB or Chassis-Mount

XP Power plc today announced the ECE60 series of single-output encapsulated 60-Watt ac-dc power supplies. Suiting applications that require a slim profile, a high power density and low no-load power consumption, the ECE60 is available in either PCB mount, chassis mounted with screw terminals, or in a DIN rail mount configuration. Believed to have the smallest footprint and the highest power density of any 60-Watt power supply in the industry, the PCB mounted model measures 3.6 x 1.5 x 1.1 inches (91.4 x 38.1 x 28.0 mm) and has a power density of >10 Watts per cubic inch.

The range comprises eight models providing all the popular nominal output voltages from + 3.3 to + 48 Vdc. A peak load capability allows up to 130% of rated output power to be available for up to 30 seconds in order to accommodate a higher start up current when powering a motor for example. Using this approach allows an engineer to avoid having to specify a more expensive higher rated power supply just to provide for an occasional peak load requirement. Also, with its no load power consumption of less than < 0.3 Watt and an high efficiency up to 89% the ECE60 series also ensures that end products meet the criteria of “green” energy saving initiatives.

The ECE60 meets EMC specification EN55022 for class B conducted and radiated emissions without the need for any additional filtering components. The supply is able to operate in most environments over a range of temperature from – 25 to + 70 degrees C with no derating until + 50 degrees C. With a Class II construction no Earth or Ground connection is required. The ECE60 60-Watt power supply is the latest addition to the ECE series that already comprises 5, 10, 20 and 40 Watt models. The ECE60 series is priced at $58.80 for 500 pcs orders and come with a 3-year warranty.
