Emerson Expands Portfolio Of Mini-USB AC-DC Power Adapters

January 11, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Emerson Network Power has expanded its line of DCH3 series wall-mount ac-dc power adapters with the addition of four new models (DCH3-050XX-004) that are equipped with cableless outputs to support interchangeable USB to Mini/Micro-USB 2.0 output cables. These compact power adapters feature a slim form factor and are intended for charging portable consumer electronic devices - such as PDAs, digital cameras and mobile phones – that require a 5 Vdc power supply and use Mini-USB connectors for their input.

DCH3 series ac-dc power adapters feature universal 100 to 254Vac inputs offered in four models (US, EU, UK and recently introduced AU models), each configured with different input plugs to suit the region of the world in which they are intended to be used. In addition, all four power adapters generate a regulated 5V output with a power capability of 3W and meet rigorous Energy Star Level IV efficiency standards.

The series offers comprehensive protection against overvoltage and short-circuit conditions, as well as built-in EMI filtering and extensive safety approvals including UL/cUL60950-1 and EN60950-1 VDE. The flexible power adapter series also supports a wide range of ambient operating temperatures from 0 to 45°C, have a best-in-class ground leakage maximum current of 10µA and provide constant voltage/current output.

DCH3 series ac-dc power adapters are available for immediate delivery. Standard lead-time for stock quantities is eight weeks and pricing starts at US $3.99 per unit.
