SL Power Electronics, a division of SL Industries and an industry leader in the design and manufacture of rugged, highly reliable power supplies, launches its GB60 single output, convection cooled, wide temperature range power supply that is one of only a few available on the market to provide 60 watts of power in ultra-compact package of 2" x 3" x 1.35". The GB60 family comes in four standard models ranging from 12Vto 48V approved to CSA/EN/IEC/UL60950-1, 2nd Edition safety standards with 90 to 264Vac input for global applications "With the introduction of our highly efficient GB60S power supply, our industrial and ITE customers will have the flexibility to reduce the footprint of their power source while improving system performance," said Maggie Nadjmi, Product Manager for SL Power. "The GB60's compliance to Level V efficiency standards allows for our customers to apply for an Energy Star rating. LED lighting, routers, motors, pumps, environmental monitoring, climate control, traffic control boxes, toys and factory automation equipment are ideal applications for our new power supply family." The GB60S power supply operates from -10°C to 70°C with -40°C start up, eliminating the requirement for an AC heating element in outdoor applications. Moreover, the GB60 provides 40 watts of power delivery at 70°C, which is 10 watts more power output than any other power supply in its class available on the market. With no minimum load required to operate the supply and total noise and ripple at just 1%, the four standard models are fully protected against short circuit, overload, and over temperature. An overvoltage protection circuit will prevent the supply from damaging the host product. The RoHS GB60S models are tested by third party agencies for compliance to the stringent EMC requirements for applications requiring Class B EMI. In addition, the models have more than 750,0! 00 hours of calculated Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF). The GB60S power supplies have cUL, CE, CB, and DEMKO approval markings and feature a 3-year warranty. Available now through SL Power's extensive distribution sales channels, OEM pricing starts at $34.00 each for 500 piece orders. SL Power Electronics
