Mean Well Launches 16W Constant Current LED Power Supply
After the launch of ac-dc LED power supply with constant current (C.C.) mode and PFC function ~ PLD-25 series (25W), MEAN WELL continuous to introduce PLD-16 series (16W) to fulfill the lower wattage demand of LED indoor/ decorative lighting market. Thanks to the simplified single stage PFC topology, the required high power factor (PF>0.9) can be achieved economically.
PLD-16 series can be used in 115 or 230Vac utility power regions, and also fulfills the usage of 277Vac main power system in North America. With constant current (C.C.) output, the efficiency of these new models are as high as 86% and hence can operate between -30 ~ +50° by only free air convection. All series are semi-potted for PCB protection (IP30 level) to provide the basic ability of anti-moisture, anti-dust as well as heat-conduction purpose. With double insolated two wires input design (Class II, no FG), these LED drivers are enclosed by plastic case with 94V-0 fire prevention level, which can protect the users against electric shock. In addition, these series comply with global certificates per UL8750, EN61347-2-13, and EN62384 and also meet with major lighting regulations such as CE and FCC, which are perfectly suitable for LED-based indoor lighting and decorative lighting applications.
Features include:

Energy Efficiency with Class D Amplifier Modules
Class-D switching amplifiers are helping audio designers create personal multimedia devices and home audio/visual systems that demonstrate how compact and stylish equipment can also deliver high sound quality and high audio output power. The key to this breakthrough, providing freedom from the large and bulky boxes housing traditional audio products, lies in the class-D amplifier’s high energy efficiency, which is typically around 90%. This allows designers to reduce or eliminate heatsinks as well as using smaller-sized PCBs and smaller components such as transformers, connectors and power supplies.

The Role of Hall Effect Sensors in Power Distribution Infrastructure
Power distribution units (PDUs) form an essential part of modern computing and data communications hardware. They provide multiple outputs for transferring electrical power with maximum efficiency, controlling the power capacity and safeguarding against the possible causes of supply interruption. With an ever increasing need from tech savvy consumers for higher data throughput and greater quantities of data storage capacity, as well as tough international legislation now governing CO&sub2; emissions, the demands being placed on these units are proving challenging for engineering teams to satisfy.
