February 07, 1999 by Jeff Shepard

Eos Corp. (Camarillo, CA) introduced its new Z-Series line of external ac/dc switching power adapters. The new devices are claimed to offer power ranges from 30W to 100W in packages less than one-half the size of competing products. The adapters are claimed to convert ac power to dc power at greater than 90 percent efficiency, compared to typical efficiencies of less than 75 percent for competing products.

The Z-Series adapters also boast power densities of up to 8W per cubic inch. The 11 new adapters are available in three distinct miniature case sizes, the Micro-Z, Mini-Z and Power-Z families. In 1-9 piece lots, suggested retail price for the Micro-Z adapters starts at $56.54; $51.99 for the Mini-Z; and $88.02 for the Power-Z.
