PSA150U adapter provides robust construction - survives knocks, drops
Phihong’s PSA150U Adapter Delivers High Power with
Increased Reliability, Stability
Fremont, CA (March 1, 2002) - Giving designers of OEM electronic equipment
a robust adapter for applications requiring more than 150W of power, Phihong provides its PSA150U power adapter. The PSA150U power adapter delivers up
to 150W of power with increased reliability, stability and overall lifetime of the power supply. PSA150U adapter's universal AC input range eliminates the
need for a voltage switch, and the device carries worldwide EMC compliance.
The PSA150U power adapter's 85% efficiency is the highest on the market,
and features a high power density at 150W output. The PSA150U adapter is designed for use in industrial controls, imaging machines, gaming machines,
networking systems, portable electronic and telecommunication equipment that require zero down time 24/7.
The PSA150U adapter is CE compliant, thus reducing system approval cost
while meeting conducted and radiated EMI standards. The adapter's robust construction readily survives dips and browns-outs, surges, spikes and lightning strikes.
PSA150U adapters deliver higher efficiency for applications while offering
excellent thermal characteristics. Designed and built to Phihong's engineering and quality standards, the PSA150U adapter has active protection to prevent
damage to product or user loads under short circuit, overload and over voltage conditions without damage.
"The PSA150U power supply's high efficiency allows it to minimize heat
dissipation, resulting in an adapter that is small and reliable," said Keith Hopwood, vice president of marketing for Phihong USA. "Without this high
efficiency, the resulting internal temperature rise would be potentially hazardous and a major reliability limiter. In many applications, the adapter may
be placed in a confined space, or it may be buried under a pile of cable, so minimizing heat is essential."
The unit meets FCC Class B and EN55022 Class B conducted noise limits. Safety approvals pending at this time include UL 60950 3rd edition. Like
virtually all Phihong adapters, the PSA150U is approved for UL, cUL and TUV. The product mates with any IEC C13 line cord.
The PSA150U adapter measures 82.34 cubic inches. Pricing is $65.50 each
per 100 units with lead times of 16 weeks. Samples are available immediately.
For applications that do not require 150W of power, Phihong's PSA100U power
adapter also offers 85% efficiency and features a high power density at 100W output
Phihong is the leading adapter brand in the world for the OEM, networking,
personal electronic and office automation markets. With global sales for 2001 exceeding $250 million, Phihong has engineering and manufacturing facilities
