TDK-Lambda has today announced a new series of DIN rail power supplies, the DRB series, for low power applications that require keenly priced basic functionality. Designed to support the growing trend for simple and economic DIN power solutions in industrial, building automation and process control applications, the DRB series combines low cost and extremely compact dimensions with industry leading efficiency of up to 91%. No load power consumpti...

TDK-Lambda have today introduced a new series of low profile, AC-DC power supplies. The CUS250LD Series single-output supplies provide 250W of output power with convection cooling. Since it requires no fans, this design eliminates the need for fan maintenance, and reduces acoustic noise and vibrations. The new power supplies feature a low profile of only 30mm and a compact footprint of 198 x 101.6mm.

TDK-Lambda announce the EVA2400 2.4kW, 2U industrial programmable power supplies, which operate in either constant current or constant voltage modes and accept a 170-265Vac single phase input. The package size of 250 x 86 x 445mm, weight of under 7.5kg and internal cooling fans mean that the EVA2400 offers flexibility for mounting orientation and location within an OEM system.

TDK are pleased to announce that 12 employees of its TDK-Lambda UK facility took on the Devon Coast to Coast Challenge to raise over £1000 for the North Devon Hospice. The hospice is a local charity that provides specialist care and support to people with a life-limiting illness and to their families.

In the vast world of power supply applications, we can identify two main categories for regulating the power applied to the load. The first being ‘constant voltage’, where the control loop maintains a constant voltage to varying load current demands and the second, ‘constant current’ where the current is maintained constant to vary the voltage applied to the load.

TDK-Lambda has today announced an expansion of its Z+ Series of programmable DC power supplies with the addition of the higher power Z+800 range. Carrying a 5-year warranty, these 800W programmable power supplies offer the same superior features as the lower power Z+400 and Z+200 ranges and address the need for high quality bench-top power supplies for the R&D environment.
