PLA Series Switchers Awarded UL and cUL Safety Approvals
Fremont, California, April 3, 2007 --- Phihong USA announced today that the PLA01, PLA02, PLA03 and PLA05 series of low cost single output "green" switchers have been awarded UL and cUL approvals. These switchers, with output power ranging from 1.3 watts to 5 watts, are specifically designed to replace linear supplies in the sub-12 watt range. Until now, this power range was considered the exclusive domain of linear regulated power supplies because of their low output noise, fast transient response and low cost.
New "green" environmental requirements have placed a great deal of pressure on OEMs to reduce off-state power consumption and on-state efficiency. This same regulatory pressure has spawned the Phihong PLA series of low power switchers that aim to replace linears in sub-12 watt applications.
PLA Family of Adapters - Features, Pricing and Availability
Phihong PLA external charger/adapters provide single outputs from 5V to 12V, and outputs ranging from 1 to 3 watts in a significantly smaller package size than many linear power supplies. In addition, each model meets all voluntary and mandatory environmental regulations for no-load current drain and efficiency. The PLA series are priced from $2.95 for 1 watt models to $3.90 for 5 watt models in 1000 quantities. Sample quantities are available from Phihong distributors.
