Press Release Summary:
- Remote on/off function can be activated to avoid an unsafe discharge of stored energy
- Charge and discharge status can be monitored locally or remotely via a DC OK relay
- Measures 175 x 85 x 57mm (L x W x H) in size
Original Press Release:
Buffer Modules Offer an Extra 380ms Hold-up in an Open Frame Package for 12V, 15V And 24V Power Supplies
April 1st, 2021
TDK Corporation (TSE 6762) announces the introduction of the TDK-Lambda brand ZBM20 12V, 15V and 24V 20A rated open-frame buffer modules. The ZBM20 series provides an extended 380ms hold-up time to power supplies preventing data loss during brief power interruptions or allowing equipment to safely shutdown. Applications include industrial automation, robotics, test, communication and semiconductor fabrication equipment.
Energy is stored in electrolytic capacitors, replacing the need for batteries and their associated maintenance and servicing. A remote on/off function can be activated to avoid an unsafe discharge of stored energy. The charge and discharge status can be monitored locally or remotely via a DC OK relay, an LED indicator and photo-coupled signals. If a longer hold-up time is desired, modules can be connected in parallel. The 24V model has a switch that can be used to select either fixed or variable voltage buffer levels. In fixed mode, it will provide power when the input voltage drops to 22.4V, in variable mode when the input decreases by 1V.
Measuring 175 x 85 x 57mm (L x W x H), the units will operate without derating in ambient temperatures of -25°C to +70°C. The five-year warranty ZBM20 has protection against both input overvoltage and overcurrent conditions, has inrush current reduction and internal fusing. Safety certification includes IEC/UL/CSA/EN 62368-1 with CE marking to the Low Voltage, EMC and RoHS Directives.
