Power supply

  • increased thermal performance

  • extensive standard features

The R65 power supply operates at full loads to 60°C — higher than other units in the same class. This allows designers to more closely match power supply specifications without having to over-specify the PSU for thermal degradation. The unit is a single output 65W supply in an industry-standard 3- x 5-in. footprint. Standard features include a universal autoranging input voltage from 90 to 265 VAC, full compliance to industrial and commercial EMI/EMC, and safety specifications including UL1950, CSA 1402-3, EN60950, EN55022 Class B and EN6100-4-4, 5. The R65 is available in 5 models with output ratings ranging from 5 to 48V, with continuous output power of 65W and currents from 1.35 to 12A. Other features include short circuit protection, 1% Vp-p at maximum load, and ±1% line and load regulation.
