Available now from Power-One iss the BLP55-Series of 55W single-output AC/DC power supplies.

Benchmarked with all available outputs - 5, 12, and 24V - the cost-effective BLP55 uses superior thermal-management techniques to deliver full-rated power with only 280 litre/min cooling.

BLP55 products are designed to meet the rigorous requirements of networking, datacommunications, commercial and industrial applications.

Reduced airflow requirements facilitate greater overall-system layout flexibility as the BLP55 does not have to be located directly adjacent to the system cooling fan.

Depending on system configuration, the BLP55 may also eliminate the need for a dedicated power-supply cooling fan, especially in space-constrained 1U "pizza-box" applications.

A compact 76.2 x 127.0 x 31.8mm package combines enhanced features and performance with compliance to established industry-standard footprints and connectors.

Standard features include remote sense, internal overvoltage protection, and 85-264V AC wide-range input.

Regulatory agency approvals include UL recognition to UL60950-1/CSA 22.2 No 60950-1 and TUV approval to EN60950-1.

Onboard EMI filtering provides Class B compliance with FCC CFR Title 47, Part 15B - conducted; and EN55022/CISPR 22 Conducted Class B.

The BLP55 is competitively priced at $27 each for 100-piece quantities.

Evaluation units are available from stock.

Production quantities are typically available in 10 to 12 weeks.
