New range of compact DIN-rail mini power supplies

The new PIANO Mini (PIM) power supplies free-up space in industrial automation, machines or control panels to offer more flexible system planning. The PIM90 a 90W DIN-Rail power supply comes in a 36x90x91mm housing. The width of the 36W version is only 22.5mm - literally a thumb's width. These new power supplies unlock completely new space opportunities for system designers.

The most important characteristics of the new PIANO devices is their focus on the core features required from a power supply: efficiency, lifetime, reliability and size. PULS’s recognised very high quality is designed into each of these features.

A key design feature is the high efficiency of 91.8% (PIM60 and PIM90) at full load and +40°C ambient temperature. The resulting very low heat losses make the power supplies more durable, extends their working life and that of the end system and reduces the cost of system cooling.

The PIM60 and PIM90 offer users the choice of push-in or screw terminals. The push-in terminals reduce installation time and are very reliable in environments prone to shock and vibration. In addition, they are ideally suited to robot-assisted wiring processes. Screw terminals can accommodate larger diameter wires and are still popular in more benign environments.

With the introduction of these new PIANO Mini products, PULS now provides a complete, cost-oriented product family in the 36 to 480W power range.

“Industrial processes and machine building are key markets for our DIN-Rail power supplies,” said Marco van der Linden, UK Country manager for PULS. “Systems designers are continually trying to reduce the size of their panels or create additional space for functional equipment. Our new PIANO Mini products provide new space opportunities without sacrificing quality or reliability.”

Typical applications for PULS DIN-Rail power supplies include, industrial and process control, building automation, smart buildings and Industry 4.0, panel-building, test and measurement, instrumentation and communications systems. Versions are ruggedised for harsh environments.
