A Sunpower (UK) product story
Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team Apr 10, 2006

The NFM Series are 5-20W medical onboard PCB type power supplies designed to extend the Sunpower medical product line to include the lower power 5W applications.

The NFM Series are 5-20W medical onboard PCB type power supplies designed to extend the Sunpower medical product line to include the lower power 5W applications.

PM Series is the encapsulated version of the NFM with almost the same features as the corresponding models in the NFM Series.

The plastic case and heat conducted glue means the PM models offer full isolation while keeping the same operating temperature range as the NFM Series.

This is especially suitable for space critical medical or industrial applications with little spare area to deploy the power unit.

Featuring Class II isolation levels on the 5-15W models and a mere 200uA of leakage current at 264V AC on the 20W models they can be equipped into non-patient-contact medical equipment and still comply with Class B as per EMI regulations.

With the environment and energy saving in mind, the no load power consumption is lower than 0.5W on the 5-15W models and lower than 0.75W on the 20W models, making the series comply with the requirement of Green Mode PSUs.

Standard functions include short circuit, overload and overvoltage protections, and overtemperature protection is also equipped on the whole NFM series (OTP not available on PM Series).

General medical or industrial applications that require low leakage current, general electronic applications and low profile IT equipment are all suitable sectors for applying these onboard type power supplies on the main control PCB of a final system.

The new NFM series will also be superseding Sunpower's OFM Series, which is now only available to order with MOQs of 500 units, and will be withdrawn completely by January 2007.

Sunpower reckons the NFM Series boasts superior electrical characteristics, better performance and the efficiency on these units has increased by 4-9% over that of the OFM Series.

The significantly improved EMC performance and complete safety certification and wider application range of this new series also make it the preferred choice.
