XP Power – Encapsulated modules in an ultra-compact footprint

XP Power’s ECE80 series of 80W single output AC/DC encapsulated power supply modules has high efficiency and a low no load input power. The modules are perfect for customers requiring an encapsulated AC/DC power solution in an ultra-compact format for either PCB, chassis, or DIN rail mounting. The series has the smallest footprint and highest power density in the industry for an 80W encapsulated power supply module. The range is available in three formats for increased flexibility. The standard part comes as a PCB mount version, adding –S gives you a chassis mount version with screw terminals, and lastly the DIN rail version with screw terminals is available by adding –SD. The range is an extension of the company’s ECE series of small encapsulated AC/DC power supplies, offering power levels from 5W to 80W. They accommodate the need for smaller and more efficient power supplies with low no load power consumption. Additionally, the modules are well suited to class II applications and offer Class B EMI without any additional filtering. With their peak load capability up to 130% of nominal rated power output for 30 seconds, modules are able to power short term higher power loads, so designers may not need to specify a higher rated and possible physically larger power supply. With a very high power density of >11.2W/in3 the compact power modules take up less space in customers’ end products. The PCB mount module measures just 91.4mm x 45.72mm x 28mm and the chassis mount module measures 113mm x 47.5mm x 28.5mm. Five standard output voltages are available from 12VDC to 48VDC. The modules’ <0.3W no load power consumption and efficiency figure of up to 89% helps designers meet current green requirements in their end applications, and their class II construction means that no ground (earth) connection required, again simplifying design. With their wide operating temperature range of -40C to +70C (with no derating until +50 degrees C), the company’s modules are able to operate in most environments with no need for additional heat sinking or airflow. The modules meet Class B conducted and radiated EMC limits without any additional components, and are UL/CSA/EN/IEC 60950-1 safety agency approved.
