N2Power Announces New-Compact AC-DC Power Supply

N2Power, announced the inital models of the XL250 Series, a family of compact, 250W ac-dc switching power supplies.

The XL250 family is expressly designed for OEM applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems, and network servers.

"Our very compact, high-efficiency technology gives OEM engineers and designers new flexibility in their power systems designs that pays real competitive dividends in their final products."

The XL250 Series incorporates features such as active power factor correction for reduced input power, built in or’ing diodes, active inrush current protection, remote on-off, and high efficiency (up to 88% in some models). All N2Power supplies meet a full range of international agency approvals, including UL, cUL, DEMKO, CE Mark and FCC Class B.
