RECOM has announced that it is adding the RACM60-K series to its range of open frame AC/DC power supplies. The low-profile two by three inch design features 90% efficiency across its load range, enabling full-power operation from -40 to +55°C without forced cooling, and up to +85°C with derating or forced air.

Input range is universal 80 to 264VAC and outputs available are 5, 12, 15, 24, 36 and 48V.

The parts are suitable for a wide range of applications with EN 62368-1, IEC 61558-1/-2-16 and IEC/EN 60335-1 certifications for ITE/audio-visual, industrial and household use respectively up to 5000m operating altitude. Medical safety and EMC certifications meet ANSI/AAMI/IEC/CSA 60601-1 for two MOPP with an isolation of4kVAC/1 minute suitable for B and BF applications up to 4000m operating altitude. Class B EMC standards are also met in installation class II or class I PELV with grounded output.

The RACM60-K series features full protection against short-circuits, output over-voltage, over-current and over-temperature and has line and neutral fusing for medical applications. No-load input current is only 100mW typical at 230VAC.

Various mounting options are available: Molex connectors for wired installation, wave-solder pins for direct PCB mount with built-in stand-offs and a two by four inch footprint for legacy design compatibility. A cover is available for the two by four inch option.

Steve Roberts Innovations Manager at RECOM, said: “The high efficiency of these products, right down to 10% load, is a major advantage when the application is space-constrained and only convection cooling is available”.

Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorised distributors or directly from RECOM.
