Two series of 5W plug top power supplies, which are claimed to be the first to comply with the updated Energy Star level VI energy efficiency standard, have been released by XP Power. According to the company, the VEL05 and VER05 series' meet the standard’s no load input power requirement of less than 0.1W.

Introduced in February 2014 the Energy Star level VI standard aims to significantly lower the amount of power consumed when the end application is turned off or is no longer connected.

The VEL05 series has a fixed input plug as required for use in the US, UK, Europe or Australia. The VER05 series is supplied with four interchangeable mains connectors that allow use in the same countries.

Both series are available with a choice of four output voltages and four output plug combinations. The available output voltage options are 5, 6, 9 and 12VDC. The 5VDC output supplies are available with various USB output connectors, including Type A USB in body inlet, Type B micro USB or Type B mini USB. A DC barrel jack connector is also available for the 5VDC output models. All other output voltage models are supplied with a DC barrel jack connector. Output lead length is 1500mm.

With a Class II construction the VER05 and VEL05 series do not require a separate earth connection and can operate in environments from 0 to +60°C. The units are approved to the internationally recognised ITE 60950-1 safety standard and Class B limits for conducted and radiated emissions.

The VEL05 and VER05 series' are available now with a three year warranty.
