DIN rail power supplies for low-power industrial, automation, and process control offered by TDK Lambda
SAN DIEGO, 7 Jan. 2014. TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. in San Diego is introducing the DRB series of DIN rail power supplies for low-power industrial, building automation, and process control applications that require little space on the mounting rail.
The DRB series DIN rail power supplies offers efficiency of as much as 91 percent, with no-load power consumption between 0.3 and 0.5 Watts, depending on the model type.

Housed in a plastic case, the DRB series offers a narrow design, ranging from 18 to 45 millimeters. All DRB models will mount on either a TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 DIN rail, and are tested for shock and vibration while mounted onto the rail.
The supplies operate from a universal input of 85 to 264 volts AC, have EN61000-3-2 compliance, and can withstand input voltage surges of 300 volts AC for 5 seconds.

The DRB series is available with four output power levels ranging from 15 to 100 Watts and nominal output voltages of 5, 12-15, 24-28, or 48 volts DC.
The supplies can operate at full load over a temperature range of -10 to 55 degrees Celsius. Typical ripple and noise is below 40 millivolts and a green LED indicates DC OK. Other has include over-current, over-voltage protection and a hold-up time as long as 20 microseconds at 100 volts AC input voltage, full load.
The DRB series is approved to UL508 safety standard for industrial control equipment. Further safety approvals include IEC/EN 60950-1 (2nd Ed.) and UL/CSA 60950-1. CE marked in accordance with the LV Directive, EMC Directive and RoHS Directive, the power supplies are designed to meet EN55022 and CISPR22 Class B for conducted and radiated EMI.
