Mean Well has launched its first 4" x 2" (102 x 51 mm) PCB-type switching power supply - the RPS/D/T-60 series - which targets medical and IT applications with miniature size requirements.
The 5" x 3" (127 x 76 mm) PCB size has dominated the PCB type power supply market for many years and here Mean Well also offers several choices from 45 W to 200 W. However, based on the miniature trend for many kinds of electronic products, the company expects that the 4" x 2" profile will become mainstream for the embedded PSU and as such is introducing models with 401 mW/cm³ of power density.
Complying with both medical and industrial agency standards, these units can deliver their full rated output of 50-60 W with only free air convection and also have a 10% peak load capability. Featuring 200 μA of leakage current at 264 V a.c., they can be equipped into non-patient contact medical equipment and still comply with Class B per EMI regulations.
Standard functions include short circuit, overload, and overvoltage protection and the no-load power consumption for single output models is a low 0,75 W. With a height of 29 mm, the RPS/D/T-60 series is suitable for 1U installations or other height-constrained applications.
General medical usage, which requires low leakage current, general electronic application, and low profile IT equipment, are all suitable applications for this miniature product series.
