CUI Extends Ultra-Compact SIP Ac-Dc Power Supply Series to Include Low Profile Versions

TUALATIN, Ore. – September 23, 2014 – CUI Inc has extended its PBK series of ultra-compact SIP ac-dc power supplies to now include right-angle versions.  The low-profile PBK-B family is available in 1 W, 3 W and 5 W configurations. The power modules measure as small as 1.38 x 0.98 x 0.51 in. (35 x 25 x 13 mm), and are ideally suited to deliver on-board ac-dc power conversion where board real estate is at a premium.

The high density PBK-B series is offered in single output voltages of 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, and 24 Vdc and can operate at ac input voltages between 85~264 Vac.  For high voltage dc-dc applications, the modules also provide a dc input range spanning 100~400 Vdc. All models are designed for 3,000 Vac/1 Min input to output isolation, have over current and continuous short circuit protection, and can function at a wide operating range from -40 to +85°C (1 W and 3 W) and -25 to +85°C (5 W) for use in challenging environments.

The low profile PBK-B series meets internationally recognized UL 60950-1/EN 60950-1 standards and complies with EN55022 Class B limits for conducted and radiated EMC with few additional external components required.  They are ideally suited for a range of applications including automation equipment, industrial systems, security applications, and telecommunication equipment.

The PBK-B Series is available through distribution starting at $11.29 for 100 pieces. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
