Operating from a universal input of 85-264VAC (47-63Hz) with active power factor correction to ensure EN61000-3-2 compliance, the compact TDK-Lambda DRF series of energy efficient, DIN rail, convection-cooled power supplies meets demand for applications that require advanced control features, including those found in industrial equipment, building automation and process control.

There are three 24VDC models in the TDK-Lambda DRF family; the DRF120-24-1 (5A), DRF240-24-1 (10A) and DRF480-24-1 (20A). With a 150% peak power capability for 4 seconds and steady constant current characteristic, the DRF suits the challenging loads found in automation applications.

Achieving up to 94% efficiency, the DRF features an operating temperature range of -25 to +70°C, with full load operation between -25 and +60°C, derating to 75% load at up to +70°C. Control features include over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature protection, as well as remote on/off. The models also feature series and parallel operation capability.

The slim design of the DRF series saves space on the DIN rail, with the DRF120-24-1 measuring only 36.5x123.4x115.4mm. The DRF240 and DRF480 are 49 and 82mm wide respectively, and all DRF models will mount on either a TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 DIN rail, offering engineers a flexible options. In addition, they have been rigorously tested for shock and vibration while mounted.

“A premium medium power family, the DRF series combines careful thermal design and excellent efficiency,” said Martin Southam, Director of Marketing, TDK-Lambda EMEA. “With an average active efficiency of over 87% and low standby power consumption (below 0.5-0.75W depending on the model), this series is perfect for customers working to Eco-Design guidelines and seeking compact high efficiency products.”

The TDK-Lambda DRF series is approved to UL508 safety standard for industrial control equipment and hold up meets SEMI F47 requirements at high line input (200V only). Further safety approvals include IEC/EN 60950-1 (2nd edition) and UL/CSA 60950-1. CE marked in accordance with the LV, EMC and RoHS directives, the DIN rail power supplies meet EN55022 and CISPR22 Class B for conducted and radiated EMI, and include a five year warranty.
