'Smallest' AC/DC power supplies unveiled

XP Power has announced the ECE60 series of single output encapsulated, 60W AC/DC power supplies.

Suitable for applications that require high power density, a slim profile and low no-load power consumption, the ECE60 is available in either PCB mount, chassis mounted with screw terminals, or in a DIN rail mount configuration. Claimed to have the smallest footprint and the highest power density of any 60W power supply in the industry, the PCB mounted models measure 91.4 x 38.1 x 28mm and have a power density of >10W per cubic inch. The range comprises eight models providing nominal output voltages from 3.3 to 48VDC. A peak load capability allows up to 130% of rated output power to be available for up to 30 seconds in order to accommodate a higher start up current when powering a motor for example.
