SL Power Electronics announced a new family of 75W external switch-mode power supplies that comply with Level IV Energy Star requirements – described as the highest rating currently attainable. Marketed under the Ault brand name, the PW156 is a single output family available in four voltages up to 75W.

"The PW156 is a welcome addition to our external power line because it brings a new option for our customers in this popular power range," said Greg Harris, Vice President, Global Sales and Marketing, SL Power Electronics. "In addition to its versatility, the PW156 provides a highly reliable power supply that meets global safety standards and energy requirements at a time when the world is more focused than ever on conservation of energy and natural resources. It is important that SL Power contribute any way possible to the growing concern over energy consumption. This product has very low ‘no load consumption’ and higher efficiency, two key elements in new energy-saving initiatives."

By meeting Level IV Energy Star requirements, the Ault PW156 series meets international power supply efficiency standards, and complies with the mandatory California Energy Commission (CEC) Tier 2 standard.

The desktop-style Ault PW156 series satisfies a wide range of applications in the industrial, test and measurement, instrumentation, military/aerospace, communications and computer/peripheral market segments. This new product family is available in 12, 15, 18 and 24V standard models. The CE-compliant Ault PW156 meets UL60950-1, TUV/EN60950-1 and IEC60950-1.

The PW56 sells for less than $29.00 in OEM quantities of 1,000.
