SL Power debuts supplies for test-and-measurement devices
Ventura, CA. SL Power Electronics today added the new TE60 and TB65 Series product lines to its comprehensive power solutions for test and measurement applications.
The new 60-W TE Series external power supply complies with the U.S. Department of Energy’s level VI efficiency requirements and provides enhanced performance to meet strict EMI and EMC parameters. This high-performance design makes these external power supplies suitable for use with handheld test-and-measurement and industrial devices, where low noise and rugged performance are required.
In addition to Level VI compliance, equipment designers will appreciate that the TE Series meets the “heavy” industrial levels of EMC per EN 61000-4-X, protecting end-use equipment from harsh electrical environments. Moreover, the TE Series designs utilize high-quality electrolytic capacitors, ensuring greater than seven-year product life. Low common mode noise, level 4 ESD protection (IEC 61000-4-2: 8 kV/15 kV) and surge protection (IEC 61000-4-5: 1 kV CM/4 kV DM) help to ensure the highest overall performance.
The desktop and wall plug models offer regulated output power with low ripple, no-load power consumption less than 0.5 W, and short-circuit and thermal protection. They include Class B EMI filtering with a minimum of 6-dB (conducted) and 3-dB (radiated) margin and a convenient IEC AC 320 C14 grounded input connector that can accept input line cords with any appropriate plug configuration.
For internal power, the TB65 models offer up to 90% efficiency and a compact form factor. The 65-W TB65 power supplies are suitable when very high efficiency and superior EMI and EMC performance are required. Measuring only 2.0” x 3.5” x 1.3”, suitable for use in a 1U chassis, the TB65 provides up to 65 W of convection-cooled output power. The TB65 internal power supply is compliant to high levels of EMC per EN 61000-4 and meets Class B conducted EMI with 6-dB margin and Class B Radiated EMI with 3-dB margin. Feature rich with up to 90% efficiency, designers of test equipment will especially appreciate the TB65’s greater than 10-year life, based on e-cap calculations.
“Our newest external and internal power solutions have been specifically designed to meet test equipment designers’ need to solve challenging issues with EMI, EMC, ESD, surge, and radiated noise,” said Paul Kingsepp, product manager for SL Power Electronics. “Our high performance TB65 internal models address problematic interference and susceptibility issues ensuring smoother end-product design and faster go-to-market time. Our new TE Series models are the perfect external power supply solution when the highest level of efficiency, EMI, and EMC performance are required.”
The TB65 models feature a universal input of 90 to 264 VAC and are available in outputs of 12 V, 15 V, 24 V, and 48 V. DC OK and PSU temperature monitoring signals are standard offerings. All models are CE marked to low-voltage directive and approved to ITE standards of CSA/EN/IEC/UL 60950-1, 2nd Edition, Am. 2.
Both product families are available now through SL Power’s worldwide distribution sales channels and feature a three-year warranty. The TE Series models pricing starts at $22.00 each in production quantities, and the TB65 models start at $35 each in OEM quantities. The supplies will be on display at the International Test Conference October 6-8 in Anaheim, CA.
