Level VI compliant supplies feature interchangeable blades for global use

The SMI5-USB, SMI6, SMI18, SMI24 and SMI36 family of Level VI compliant external ac/dc power supplies offer outputs ranging from 5 to 36 W with interchangeable ac input blades. Designed for global use, the wall plug-in devices include ac blade options for North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia and China. The series are all designed to meet the stringent Level VI standards that aim to significantly lower the amount of power consumed when the end application is not in use or is no longer connected to the system. Any domestic or global manufacturer seeking to market their end‑product with an external adapter in the United States must meet these new performance standards mandated by the US Department of Energy by February 10^th , 2016.

The adapters feature an input voltage range from 90 to 264 Vac and are available in single output voltages from 5 to 48 Vdc depending on the series. All models meet the Level VI standard’s no load power consumption requirement of
