Elpac Introduces 80 Watt Open Frame Medical Power Supplies
Highest Power Density in the Industry
IRVINE, CA – November 21, 2006 – a worldwide leader in accelerating the design and manufacture of superior-quality power supplies, custom docking stations and battery chargers, today announced the release of a new series of 80 watt open frame power supplies (MSM80F)for medical applications. The new models feature Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS), synchronous output rectifiers, highest power density in the industry (9w/in3), RoHs compliant, wide range AC input, and fully regulated output for use in a wide variety of mobile or portable medical applications, and are backed by the industry-leading Elpac 5-year warranty.
These new models also meet 2008 CEC efficiency standards and zero load consumption, even at output voltages as low as 9 Volts. This new series features an extended life of greater then 7 years at maximum load. Additionally, the new 80 Watt series provides the longest hold-up time in the industry (>20ms @ 100Vac @ 80W) and the highest voltage dip immunity in any 2 x 4 medical power supply.
The new MSM80F series includes five new models, each providing 80 watts of DC power at single outputs of 9, 12, 15, 24, volts. Each model takes AC input from universal sources and provides fully regulated DC output. All medical agency and regulatory approvals have been completed, including UL2601-1, CE marking, and FCC Class B.
“We are increasingly seeing medical applications that call for more power with higher efficiency, which this new series addresses,” said Marshall Wright, Elpac Chief Operating Officer. “We also continue to see medical equipment OEMs preferring to choose medical grade power supplies from a company known for making product with industry-leading quality available fast, backed by superior customer service.”
The new models operate over an ambient temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees. All models contain over voltage, over current, and short circuit protection. A data sheet with complete technical specifications is available at www.elpac.com.
