Ensuring long service life and reliability at such a high power density required overcoming a number of design challenges, such as placing the SMD semiconductors on the board in such a way as to dissipate excess heat through copper surfaces acting as heat sinks on the board and through an aluminium base plate via heat-conducting pads.
The new power supplies operate at input voltages between 90-264VAC at temperatures ranging from -30 to 70°C. Modules with 12, 24, and 48V outputs are currently available for shipping; the modules come with short-circuit as well as overvoltage protection and a typical efficiency of 91%.
These SMPS modules are suitable for use across the world, and are certified according to IEC/EN/UL 60950-1 as well as the new IEC/EN/UL62368-1 standard, and comply with the RoHS directive and EN55022/24 Class B for electromagnetic compatibility. The modules come with a three year guarantee.
