Emerson Debuts AD24, New External Power Adapter

Emerson Network Power, a provider of AC and DC power and precision cooling systems, embedded computing and power, integrated racks and enclosures, power switching and controls, monitoring and connectivity, has unveiled a new high-efficiency external power adapter, so called AD2412N3L (AD24).

 

AD24 is a freestanding AC-DC power adapter which produces a fully regulated 12 volt output and features a universal 90-264 Vac input.

 

This new external adapter provides a flexible power solution with a compact form-factor for a wide variety of portable and desktop applications including instrumentation, telecommunications, test and measurement systems and computer peripherals.

 

Emerson (News - Alert) is currently offering the new AD24 at $14.95 in OEM quantities and is available in 3-pin (type C14) IEC320 AC input receptacle with a safety-ground leakage current maximum of 250 µA. The new adapter gives DC output via a fixed cable fitted with a standard 2.5 mm (5.5 mm O.D.) barrel plug.

 

It demonstrates a high level of efficiency and features switching regulators for switched-mode operation to comply with Energy Star and Blue Angel requirements.

 

It also works in a wide range of ambient temperatures without de-rating - from -5�C to +50�C - compared to typical adapters and has a high calculated MTBF of 850,000 full-load hours at 25�C ambient.

 

The adapter also features a built-in EMI filter and meets rigorous EN55022-B (News - Alert) and FCC part 15 Level B EMC standards for conducted noise and even inherits automatic recovery features to protect the adapter against overvoltage and overpower conditions.
