Galaxy Power of Westborough, Mass., has entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by New Jersey-based Bel Fuse for approximately $18 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $2 million dollars of liabilities. A private company, Galaxy designs and manufactures high-density dc-dc converters (bricks) for distributed power and telecommunications applications.
