External supply promises long reliable life
Low-noise multipurpose power supply is fitted with field replaceable fan and air exhaust filters making it ideal for harsh and industrial environments.
DC/DC convertor is made for LED lighting
Wide input range DC/DC convertor provides a constant-current single output for powering a single LED or an array of up to nine devices.
Measuring 43 x 55mm, the Powerstax ZTAH adapter fits without difficulty within the industry standard half brick DC/DC convertor footprint (61.0 x 57.9mm).
At just 11.6mm high, the low profile ZTAH fits snugly on the top of the convertors by either solder fit or alternatively, with a special pluggable option.
The single sided adapter does not hinder the conventional mounting of the convertor module and permits units either to be cold wall mounted or employ an appropriate Powerstax heatsink fixed in the usual manner.
With maximum 24A output power rating, the two rows of 5mm pitch "screw and clamp" terminal blocks accommodate 1.5mm2 (26-16AWG) wire and provide an easy and repeatable way for system designers to carry out development and test functions, and industrial field engineers can integrate, install and replace modules with just a screwdriver.
Available now, the simple design ensures a cost effective solution for those requiring a straightforward and re-useable interface for half brick DC/DC convertor with industry standard pin configurations.
