Lambda Launches 1U Industrial ATX Power Supplies

March 04, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Lambda has launched a new range of industrial low-profile ATX computer power supplies. The new ZWX-series are open frame ac-dc power supplies designed for server and industrial computer applications.

These supplies are said to provide the five voltages needed for today’s high-end industrial computers including +3.3, +5, +12, -12 and +5V (standby) and are 1U rack/enclosure mountable. The ZWX300 includes a sixth output (a second +12V) to support extra drives, memory, fans, etc.

The ZWX supplies are suitable for applications where convection cooling is preferred, yet can provide higher power when fan cooling is desired. The convection-cooled power ratings are 90, 120 and 150W. With forced air cooling (30 cfm) these ratings jump to 153, 204 and 255W respectively and peak power ratings add from 30 to 40W to these figures.

Standard features include active PFC (power factor correction), logic level On/Off control, 80% and higher efficiencies, overcurrent and overvoltage protection, remote-sense on the +3.3V output, and no minimum loads required. They operate with a wide input range of 85-265Vac and in temperatures ranging from -10 to +70°C (with appropriate derating).

Three package sizes are available depending on the output wattage and range from 3.7 x 1.42 x 8.27", up to 4.65 x 1.42 x 9.84". Compliances include UL/CSA/EN60950-1 & EN50178 (OV II), CE Mark, EN55011/EN55022-B, FCC Class B, VCCI-B EMI (conducted and radiated), EN61000-X immunity and RoHS-compliant.

The ZWX-series are available now with prices starting at $125 each in 100 piece quantities.
