2x4” 80W Conduction Cooled AC-DC Power Supplies are IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 Certified

February 04, 2020 by Paul Shepard

With two new models BEO-0812 (+12V) and BEO-0824 (+24V) presented, the power supply specialist Bicker Elektronik has expanded its ac-dc power supply series BEO to include 80-Watt fanless models designed to be conduction cooled in the space-saving form factor 2x4". With forced air cooling, up to 150 Watts continuous power is available. The BEO-0800 series is also characterized by its high efficiency of up to 91% and low standby consumption <0.48W.

The space-saving BEO-0800 series is suitable for a large number of fanless industrial applications and embedded IPC systems with single voltage supply: Industry 4.0 / IIoT, automation, process measuring and control technology, energy, communication, POS / POI, digital signage, and many more.

The rugged and reliable industrial power supplies have a wide-range input of 90- to 264-Vac with active power factor correction for worldwide use and are certified to IEC/EN/UL62368-1. Due to the very good electromagnetic compatibility, the BEO-0800 series meets the stricter class B of EN55032. The high quality of the components used and the excellent circuit design ensure a long service life and safe 24/7 continuous operation in the extended temperature range of -20°C to +70°C.

For optimum thermal connection of the power components on PCB bottom side to chassis of the application, BEO-0800 series already includes a suitable thermal pad. Due to ideal heat conduction properties and the flexible pad surface, the pre-assembled thermally conductive gap filler creates an optimal connection between the power components and the connected housing chassis, so that no active cooling is necessary.

Due to the very good thermal management, the heating of the switched-mode power supplies is reduced to a minimum, making maintenance-free systems without rotating fans possible. The already included insulation foil has a precisely fitting opening for the thermal pad.

The BEO-0800 series combines high energy efficiency across the entire performance range with the compactness of a robust 2x4" industrial PSU. The switching power supplies can be used up to an operating height of 5000 meters and have short-circuit and overcurrent protection. The insulation voltage between input and output is 4000Vdc.

The 3-pin ac input line CB-105-3-600 or the 2-pin ac input line X1-054 are available as optional accessories for ac input mains connection, and the 4-pin dc output line CB-BEO-0800 on the dc output side - each made in AWG18 with a length of 600mm and open ends.
