New Products Apr 16, 2002 by Jeff Shepard

UNIPOWER Corp. (Coral Springs, FL) introduced a new version of its popular PowerCassette, 1U, 600W, six-output switcher, which has its outputs factory set by means of internal DIP switches. The Quick-Set PowerCassette comes in both chassis-mount and hot-swap versions. All specifications are identical to the current non-programmable version of the PowerCassette.

The units provide up to six outputs, including a 5Vdc, 1A independent-standby output. Maximum continuous power is 600W, and available output voltages are from 1.8Vdc to 12Vdc. The ultra-compact, low-profile case measures only 1.6in (1U) x 5in x 11in, producing 6.8W/in3. The case incorporates internal cooling fans and a single, pluggable connector.

Other features of the Quick-Set PowerCassette include power-factor correction, single-wire current sharing, output ORing diodes on the hot-swap versions, remote sensing, adjustable output voltages, no-load operation, a universal input range of 85Vac to 264Vac, over-voltage protection and over-temperature protection. Input and output control and monitoring features are also incorporated.

Pricing of the Quick-Set PowerCassette in high volumes is as low as $399.
