XP Power's cost-effective AKM36, AKM45, and AKM65 series of desktop AC-DC power supplies, rated at 36 W, 48 W and 65 W, are aimed at the healthcare, ITE and industrial markets. All versions meet the latest U.S. Department of Energy (DoE) Level VI and EU CoC Tier 2 energy efficiency requirements while offering two levels of patient protection (2 x MOPP) medical-grade isolation and very low no-load power consumption.

AC input for all versions is 90 V_AC to 264 V_AC for worldwide use and outputs available include 9 V, 12 V, 15 V, 18 V, 24 V, 30 V, 36 V, and 48 V depending on version. The 36 W part is class II, earth-free construction, while this is an option on the 48 W and 65 W versions. Input connectors are IEC320-C8 ‘figure of eight’ type for class II parts and IEC320-C14 type when class I is specified. This connector can be provided with an optional cable restraint for applications when accidental disconnection would be critical. Output connection is via a flying lead with a standard jack plug.

These high-reliability parts feature 4 kV_AC isolation rating, 5000 m altitude operation and safety approvals to UL/EN/IEC 60950 for IT equipment, and EN/IEC/CSA/ANSI-AAMI ES 60601-1 for medical equipment with 2 x MOPP.

Applications for the parts include portable equipment for medical monitoring and diagnostics, cosmetic treatment, environmental monitoring, test and measurement, and mobile communications. Casing for the parts is plastic with an optional white coloring to match medical environments.
