Mean Well launches its new USP-500 series – 500 W U-bracket type power supply with power factor correction (PFC) function for the growing demand of low profile middle wattage applications. Featuring advanced technology for high efficiency, USP-500 possesses up to 90% of efficiency even for the 12 V model, and hence it can supply 400 W by merely free air convection which is perfectly suitable for fanless usages. By applying 23.5CFM of system forced air, an even higher output of 500 W can be obtained. With 6.2 W/ in3 of high power density, USP-500 series is a compact 90~264 V switcher that is ideal for 1U (1.75-inch) installations. Standard functions include remote ON/OFF control, remote sense, DC OK signal output, short circuit, overload, over-voltage, and over-temperature protections.
Complying with worldwide safety and performance standards from UL, CSA, TUV, CB, and CE, the low profile USP-500 series is targeted at critical applications with limited space. All the design and component selection are based on a rigid procedure and the reliability of these PSU are also significantly increased because of the no fan design. Suitable application areas are general electronic application, factory automation, telecommunications, networking, test & measurement, audio system, massage machine, and large size LCD TV.
