Emerson Network Power is extending its line of configurable power supplies with a new AC-DC power supply, the µMP1.


The low-profile 1U µMP1 has six


available expansion slots, allowing engineers tomix-and-matchmodules for up to 12 outputs ranging from0.9 to 60V. It offers a power density of 13.9W per cubic inch and operating efficiency of up to 91 per cent typical at full case load. The case can deliver up to 1,200Wof output power with nominimumload requirement. The µMP1 accepts an input voltage range of 85V AC to 264V AC and is equipped with active power factor correction rated at 0.99 typical to minimize input harmonic current distortion.


Designed to ensure high efficiency and


reliability, the power supply is rated for performance from-40 to 70°C. It can withstand a shock/vibration ofmore than 50G, contributing to amean-time between failures ofmore than 550,000 hours at full load. The µMP1 is also equipped with EN60601medical safety approvals,making it ideal for certain medical applications, as well as industrial, process automation, robotics and telecommunications.

has introduced two new wall-mount switching power supplies withmedical and IT equipment safety approvals. The DA12-M(12W) and DA18-M(18W) adapters are available in both fixed and interchangeable AC plug configurations andmeet Energy Star Level V efficiency standards.


The DA12-Mis available with five or 12V


outputs. The DA18-Mhas a 15V output and in its interchangeable version, the US and EU plugs can be inserted straight or at a 90-degree angle. Bothmodels feature universal 90 to 264V AC inputs inmultiple AC plug configurations. US, UK, EU and AU plugs are available on allmodels, with C8 available for the interchangeable versions only.
