TDK-Lambda External Power Supplies Meet Tough Energy Efficiency Standards

February 09, 2010 by Jeff Shepard

TDK-Lambda has released a new range of ac-dc external power supplies with models rated from 100 to 150W that meet the EISA, CEC and Energy Star EPS Version 2.0, Efficiency Level V standards. The DT100-C and DT150-C series feature active PFC (meets EN61000-3-2) and operate from a universal AC input of 90 to 264Vac (47-63Hz). Available output voltages include 12, 16, 19, 24, 36 and 48V.

These external power supplies are packaged in an insulated compact and lightweight enclosure measuring 3.35 x 6.7 x only 1.73" and are convection cooled (no fans needed). The operating temperature range is 0 to +40°C with no derating required. All models are fully isolated (3kVac, input to output) and meet the Energy Star 2.0 and the California Energy Commission (CEC) Level V efficiency standards.

These units include overvoltage and short-circuit protections and off/no-load standby power consumption of less than 0.50W as required by Energy Star 2.0 and other green energy initiatives. In addition, these series include UL/EN/IEC60950-1 international safety agency certifications and meet EN55022-B and FCC Class B conducted and radiated EMI standards.

Moreover, these external power supplies feature a recessed IEC320-C14 ac input receptacle and a 3.4 foot long output cable with a molded 4-pin connector. Other output connector types can be special ordered. These 100-150W supplies are ideal for powering desktop devices, instrumentation, industrial devices and a wide range of other general purpose applications.

The DT100-C and DT150-C series are available now and priced from $40.50 each in OEM quantities of 1,000 units.
