IP66 compliant “ALC/ALV series” small size AC-DC switching power supplies for LED devices

The ALC/ALV product family consists of switching power supplies of constant current type and constant voltage type. The constant current type named the ALC series comes with 2 models (0.35A and 0.7A) and the constant voltage type named the ALV series comes with 3 models (12V, 15V and 24V). All of them are housed in the same form factor. They also give sufficient consideration to safety concerns through compliance with the requirements of the PSE standards (Japanese Electrical Appliance and Material Safety Law). The ALC/ALV product family will be marketed for LED device applications under the brand of TDK-Lambda.

In the efforts of recent years toward realization of low-carbon society, LEDs are much counted upon as the next generation light source and their market is growing more than ever. Unlike conventional light sources, LEDs are driven by DC and thus require DC power source. Their applications are diversified. In some cases, constant current power source is required while in other cases constant voltage power source is required depending on the user's application.

In order to meet these diversified requirements, we offer the ALC series of constant current power supplies and the ALV series of constant voltage power supplies in the same form factor. It allows users to easily select whichever type depending on the application, thus helping them shorten their development time. As for applications under severe environmental conditions that require dust repellent and splash proof characteristics such as sign boards and illumination boards, they give consideration to environment resistance through compliance with the requirements of the IP66 standards and thus offer users greater flexibility in product design.

In addition, they are small and thin (90×34.5×21mm), light (84g) and nicely shaped so that they can be easily mounted into sign boards or devices. Besides the PSE standards, they also comply with UL1310 Class 2 (US safety standard) and European safety requirements of EN61347-1 (for lamp control-gear), EN61347-2-13 (for electronic control-gear for LED modules) and CE marking, thereby meeting wide range of customer requirements. We will continue to expand the ALC/ALV product family as our flagship power supplies for LED devices for the growing LED market.
