XP Power Compact 40W AC-DC Power Supply Available in Single & Multi Outputs

XP Power announced its ECP40 series of ultra low profile compact open frame 40W ac-dc power supplies for industrial or medical applications. Within the range a total of 14 models are available comprising single, dual and triple output models. Measuring just 3 x 2 x 0.9 inches (76.2 x 50.8 x 23.0mm) for the single output models and 3.5 x 2 x 1.02 inches (88.9 x 50.8 x 26.0mm) for the multi output models, the low profile units provide a high power density starting at 7.4W per cubic inch.

This power density rating is believed to be the best in class compared to similar units in this power range. In addition, the ECP40 is highly efficient, up to 90%, and has a no load power consumption of less than 0.3W, aiding designers ensure their end equipment meets the stringent criteria required by leading energy efficiency standards such as Energy Star and the EU’s ErP directive.

Single output models provide all the popular output voltages from +5 to + 48Vdc. Dual output units offer combinations of +5Vdc and + 12, + 15 or 24Vdc outputs. Triple output units add +12, -12 or -15 Vdc options. All models accommodate the wide universal input range of 85 - 264Vac. The ECP40 also features a peak load capability that allows the power supply to deliver up to 130% of rated power for a maximum of 30 seconds. This makes the series well suited for designs that require a high power output for a short duration, such as starting a motor, without having a specify a higher rated, larger and more costly power supply.

Suiting most operating temperature environments, from -10 to +70°C, the convection cooled units require no additional heat sinking or a forced air flow making them ideal for designs where space is at a premium. Full output power is available up to +50°C.

The ECP40 series meet medical safety standard IEC60601-1 and the IEC60950 specification for IT and industrial equipment. The units also comply with the EN55022 level B standard for both conducted and radiated emissions without the need for additional filtering components. Overvoltage, overload and short-circuit protection features are included as standard across the whole range.

The units are priced starting at $35.88 in production quantities.
