Original Press Release:
Astec Power Adds Fan-Cooled 145-Watt, Quad-Output Model to Popular Compact Switcher Line
Power-Factor-Corrected LPQ142-CF Model Features Wide Range Adjustability on Three of Four Outputs
CARLSBAD, Calif. - May 21, 2003 - Astec Power, a leading merchant supplier of power conversion solutions, today announced the arrival of the LPQ142-CF top fan-cooled version of its LPQ142 power supply. This new release provides forced air required for continuous operation at the unit's 145-watt output power rating. With user adjustability on three of its four output voltages, one with a range of 3.3V to 25V, this power supply is an ideal solution for any low profile application that requires tightly regulated and low-output ripple on four DC outputs. Active power factor correction enables compliance with EN61000-3-2 requirements for input current harmonic content. The unit's wide universal input voltage range (85-264 VAC and 120-300 VDC) and frequency range (47- 63 Hz) make it transcend international borders.
Boasting 3.45 watts per cubic inch, the LPQ142-CF will be popular with designers who need a robust plug-and-play solution for applications such as remote networking, single-board computing and high speed Ethernet. With 75 percent efficiency at full load, the LPQ142 has single-wire current sharing on the main output that is adjustable from 3.3 to 5.5V. The forced-air cooling enables the device to provide full rated output power while operating within an ambient temperature range of zero to 50 degrees Centigrade (°C). The LPQ142-CF can continue to deliver power between +50°C and +70°C, as long as the maximum power drawn from the unit is de-rated by 2.5 percent per °C of ambient temperature above +50°C.
The LPQ142 has undergone Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) to demonstrate more than 550,000 hours of Mean Time Between Failures, at 25°C. It also complies with the major worldwide safety and performance standards and bears UL, CSA, CE, CB, NEMKO and VDE markings. Designed to meet FCC and CISPR22 Level B specifications for conducted emissions, the LPQ142's built-in Class B EMI filter also meets most industry standard noise and immunity requirements when properly mounted and grounded within an approved equipment chassis.
Available now, OEM pricing starts at $135.00 each. For more information, contact a local Astec Power representative, found on the Astec Power Web site at astecpower.com. Click on the SALES OFFICE button, on the home page, to locate the closest Astec Power representative.
