Mean Well Launches 25/ 35W Indoor LED Power Supply
After the launch of APV/APC-12/16 series, MEAN WELL further introduced 25/35W rectangular economical plastic case LED power supplies, the APV/APC-25/35 series. Following the same design concept of APV series with C.V. mode and APC series with C.C. mode, these four new series are non-PFC design, in order to keep the low-cost advantage and to provide users more alternatives while designing the lighting fixtures.
With up to date high frequency switching topology, APV/APC-25/35 series feature with 90-264Vac input range and possess up to 84% of high efficiency, so that they can work between -30 - +70°C by only free air convection. APV/C-25 (25W) are not potted while APV/C-35 (35W) are semi-potted for PCB protection and provide the basic ability of anti-moisture, anti-dust as well as heat-conduction purpose. Built-in standard functions include short circuit, overload, over voltage protections, withstand 300Vac surge input for 5 seconds. With IP30 design, these new power units are recommended to apply to indoor LED lighting without the need of high level waterproof and dustproof ability. Typical applications include LED indoor lighting, LED-based decorative lighting, and LED electrical display.

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.
