Wall-mount AC/DCs meet Energy Star standard

The KSAF series of 5-55W wall-mount (AC/DC) switchers from Advanced Power Solutions comply with the new CEC/Energy Star energy efficiency standards.

The KSAF series, suitable for mobile products and battery charging applications, deliver 5-, 7.5-, 10-, 25- and 55W that, in 11 models, provide from 3.3V to 48V.

The universal input supplies feature a line regulation of ±1 percent, load regulation of ±5 percent, ripple and noise of 1 percent or 50mV max (whichever is greater) and typical efficiency of 75 percent (70 percent for 5V and 15V models). No-load input power is less than 300mW. The supply is rated for operation at 0 to 40°C at full load, derated linearly to 50 percent power at up to 50°C.

The supplies have been qualified to meet IEC 60950-1 international safety approvals including UL, CSA, TUV, PSE, CCC and BEAB specs. The supplies are compliant to EN55022 Class B and FCC Level B standards for radiated and conducted emissions.

The KSAF series is priced as low as $2.99 each (5W single-output models).
