New Products Jan 06, 2004 by Jeff Shepard

XPiQ Inc. (Holliston, MA), a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of ac/dc and dc/dc power supply products, released its new CFP500 Series and CDP500 Series or rectifier systems. Measuring 1.59in x 3.38in x 10.19in, both series deliver up to 500W of output power in a 1U, low-profile enclosure; this equals a power density of over 9W/in³. The CFP500 is a bulk power system developed for distributed power applications requiring a +48Vdc front end. The CDP500 is a rectifier with a -54Vdc output suitable for battery charging and telecom applications.

Both series accept an input-voltage range from 90Vac to 264Vac with active power-factor correction. For additional power requirements, each series offers an optional 19in rack allowing up to five modules to current share for N+1 redundancy, or to be paralleled for increased power at up to 2,500W. For uncontrolled environments, the new power systems feature integrated redundant diodes and a thermally controlled fan allowing operation from -20°C to

+70°C with derating. All models meet international safety agency standards and carry the CE Mark LVD.

Pricing for both the CFP500 and CDF500 Series is as low as $342 for 1,000 pieces. Both series are available in small quantities with production volume available in 10 to 12 eeks ARO.
