Rugged 350 W AC-DC power supplies comply with SEMI-F47 requirements

XP Power today announced the SHP350 series of single output rugged 350 W AC-DC power supplies aimed at industrial applications. Achieving a high power density of 6.6 Watts per cubic inch and with a typical efficiency of 85%, these compact fan-cooled units measure only 7.0 x 3.6 x 2.1 inches (177.8 x 91.44 x 53.34 mm).

The series comprises six single output models providing the popular nominal output voltages from +12 to +48 VDC. The output is also capable of being adjusted within +/- 10% in order to cater for any non-standard voltage applications. A remote sense facility compensates for a voltage drop of up to 0.5 V due to … Read More → "Rugged 350 W AC-DC power supplies comply with SEMI-F47 requirements"
