ICC Convection Cooled 150W Open Frame Power Supply Meets Medical & Industrial Safety Standards

March 18, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

International Components Corp. (ICC) launched a new series of ac-dc open-frame, single output power supplies. The new 150W series, designed for both industrial (FSA150) and medical applications (MSA150), is said to deliver an industry-leading converter efficiency of up to 94% and an industry-leading power density of 9.8W per cubic inch. The compact series is offered in a 3 x 5 open-frame design and can be used in 1U applications.

Both the MSA150 and FSA150 series feature 150W of continuous output power with convection cooling which rises to 180W of continuous output power with just 100 LFM of forced air. This high-reliability series offers active power factor correction of .97 to minimize input harmonic current distortion and ensure compliance with the international EN61000-3-2 standard. The 150W series also delivers a long hold-up time for reliable operation at more than 25ms at any input voltage. No minimum load is required for the unit to start up and maintain stated specifications.

The power supplies are comprehensively protected against over-voltage, over-temperature, and short circuit conditions and demonstrated mean time between failure exceeds 200,000 hours. The units operate at full power from 0 to + 50°C and up to + 70°C with derating. Both the MSA150 and FSA150 series feature a universal input range of 85 to 264Vac enabling use in any part of the world.

The MSA150 and FSA150 series are priced starting at $48.58 in OEM quantities of 1,000. The 150W series is available in four single output voltages ranging from 12-24Vdc.
