External power supply series meets latest energy standards

XP Power has announced the launch of the single output AFM series of 48 & 60W external ac/dc power supplies designed for a range of IT and medical equipment.

The ranges offer output voltages of 12, 15, 18 and 24Vdc. Offering a typical efficiency of up to 88%, the units meet the latest energy efficiency standards such as ErP Directive for Europe and the Energy Star Level V, EISA2007 and CEC2008 in the United States. These standards define the average energy efficiency and the maximum no load power consumption. The AFM45 has a no load power consumption of less than 0.3W, and the AFM60 less than 0.5W. In addition, the AFM series comply with the internationally recognized safety approval standards for IT and commercial equipment IEC60950-1 / UL60950-1 / EN60950-1. They also comply with the IEC60601-1 / UL60601-1 / EN60601-1 medical safety standards. The units offer multiple input cable interface options allowing designers to specify either IEC320-C14, -C6 or -C8 connectors. The -C8 option provides a Class II grounding method. An optional cable restraining clip is also available.
