August 10, 2016 by Jeff Shepard

XP Power today announced additions to its range of wall mounted plug-in power supplies with the launch of the VEL and VER series, providing a wide range of power levels and meeting the energy efficiency and no load requirements of the new DoE Energy Efficiency Level VI and the EU CoC Tier 2 standards.

Complementing the 5- to 12-Watt recently released models, both series are available in 18-, 24- and 36-Watt single-output models. All the popular nominal output voltages of 9-, 12-, 15-, 18- and 24-Vdc are available, with the 18-Watt models also providing a 5-Vdc output unit. The VEL series is available with a fixed input plug configuration accommodating US, UK or EU format. The VER models are provided with a set of US, UK, EU and Australian interchangeable input plugs. The output is delivered through an industry standard 2.1 x 5.5 x 12 mm barrel jack on a 1.5m cable.

The VEL and VER series are approved to the international IEC/EN/UL/cUL 60950-1 safety standards for IT equipment and comply with the Class B limits of EN55022 for both conducted and radiated emissions.

All models are approved as a limited power source (LPS) so that should any faults occur the output power is limited to a safe level. Also, with their Class II construction, no separate earth/ground connection is required. The VEL/VER series can be used across the range 0 to + 60 degrees, with full power available up to + 45 degrees C.

The VEL series is priced at $9.54 for 500 pcs orders of the fixed plug VEL18. The interchangeable plug VER18 model is priced at $11.04 for 500 pcs orders and is available from Allied Electronics, Digi-Key, Newark or direct from XP Power and come with a 3-year warranty.
