Aimtec announced the release of its AMEL5-MAZ series of switching power supplies. With universal inputs of 90~260Vac, 47~440Hz or 120~370Vdc, within a low profile (51.5 x 26.1 x 15.8mm) PCB mountable encapsulated package, the company states that the AMEL5-MAZ stands alone in ac-dc converter marketplace with its high I/O isolation of 4000Vac within a wide industrial operating temperature range of -40 to +80°C. All 8 models in this series operate to specifications at temperatures as low as -40°C, which is said to be essential for ensuring reliable product performance in the extreme weather conditions associated with outdoor applications.

Highly regulated, protected, isolated single and dual output ranges of 3.3 – 24Vdc, with ripple and noise as low as 50mV p-p make, tight line and load regulation of ±5% (no minimum load required), make the AMEL5-MAZ series well suited for a wide variety of applications, including industrial control devices, test and measurement equipment, telecommunications applications and consumer electronics products.

No-load power consumption of only 0.3W, and efficiency rates up to 75%, ensure that these power supplies meet or exceed the requirements for Energy Star EPS v2.0. With safety approvals cULus and CB and CE marks, the AMEL5-MAZ series meets the safety standards of EN60601-1-2, EN55011 class B, IEC/EN 61000-3-2, -3-2, and IEC 61000-4-2, -4-1, -4-5, -4-6, -4-8, -4-11, for easy integration in a wide range of controlled, non-life support medical and dental devices, instruments, and equipment applications.
