N2Power Announces the XL250 AC-DC Series

N2Power, a Qualstar Company, has introduced the initial models of the XL250 Series, a family of 250-watt AC-DC switching power supplies. The XL250 Series delivers 9.25 watts per cubic inch power density. These power supplies are designed for OEM applications such as industrial automation, telecommunications, gaming systems, security and surveillance systems, and network servers.

"The XL250 Series gives OEMs a distinct edge by incorporating more power into smaller packages, while simultaneously reducing overall power consumption and cooling requirements," said Randy Johnson, N2Power general manager. "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 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.
