Latest News From Lead free RoHS compliant Power Supplies
WEEE Power Supplies from PowerPax will have RoHS to the occasion.
PowerPax UK, who supply a comprehensive range of switch mode power supplies and linear power supplies, have already been taking steps to ensure their products are fully compliant with the WEEE & RoHS directives way ahead of schedule. All equipment including power supplies sold into Europe from the 1st July 2006 will be presumed to comply with the RoHS directive. However PowerPax are positioned to be able supply quantities of lead-free product by January 2005 on request, and all PowerPax products will be fully compliant by January 2006 at the latest.
Amongst the ranges to be a front runner in the race for compliance is the ACSD series of miniature desktop switch mode power supplies. These provide up to 25 watts of continuous output power in a case measuring just 76 x 45 x 28mm and weighing just 120 grams. A 90Vac ~ 264Vac 47/63Hz input range and full international safety approvals mean that these units are suitable for world use.
Example units taking from the ACSD range include:
ACSD-15 or ACSD-28 (12vdc 2 amp or 12vdc 1.2 amp)
ACSD-04 or ACSD-27 (9vdc 2.6 amp or 9vdc 1.5 amp)
ACSD-01 or ACSD-21 (5vdc 3.5 amp or 5vdc 2.5 amp)
