Compact 20W power supplies suit volume OEMs

SL Power Electronics is offering a series of compact, 20W single output power supplies designed specifically for the volume commercial OEM who is looking for a reliable power source at a budget price.

The GECA20 series provides a single output of 5.1-, 12-, 15- or 24V from a wide AC input range of 90Vac to 264Vac. Normal continuous output power from this convection cooled unit is 20W, with a peak of 25W available for 60 seconds. Operating temperature range is 0 to 85°C.

A key feature of the new series is its size. With a height off the board of just 21.5mm, the GECA20 units have a footprint of 89mm x 51mm.

The new power supplies are fully protected against short circuit and output overload as well as over voltage. They are also fully RoHS-compliant, CE marked to LVD and come with a two year warranty.

According to SL Power, the new power supplies are approved to UL60950-1: 2003, CSA-22.2 No 60950-1-03, IEC and EN60950-1. Conducted EMI exceeds FCC Class B and CISPR 22 Class B.

For those designing medical systems who also need a compact, medically approved power supply, SL Power Electronics produces the 22W MINT1022 which offers the same footprint as the new GECA20 Series.

Pricing for OEM volumes is $9.60.
