Lambda, the global power supply specialist, has expanded its range of world-leading power supplies with the addition of its brand new KPS Series. The innovative 5 to 15W AC-DC board mount power supplies are both small and lightweight, making them ideal for their target applications in factory automation, printers and motor drives, and automated vending.

The KPS Series’ small size, the largest model is just 69.9 x 48 x 26.8 mm and weighs only 80g, minimises the PCB area used, while their wide input range of 85-264VAC or 110-370 VDC means that they can be used globally with no manual intervention or reconfiguration. No external power supply components are needed, as the unit is fully self-contained.

A total of 15 models are available in the KPS range, with a choice of output voltage and output power. Output voltage is selectable from 3.3, 5, 12, 15 or 24V, each capable of delivering 5, 10, or 15W with a typical efficiency of up to 82%.

Andy Skinner, Product Manager with Lambda, commented: “Where OEMs previously manufactured products for a single country or region, the trend now is to design modular products that can be configured for multiple markets. Having a single power supply such as Lambda’s KPS Series, that can accept a wide range of input voltages, means that OEMs are able to market their products globally without having to source multiple power supplies.”

The KPS Series has UL, CSA and EN 60950 safety approvals, is CE marked, and has the additional protection of Lambda’s One Year warranty.
