XP Power has introduced a family of single-output, AC/DC power modules with power ratings from 3 W to 40 W. Offering easy integration into BF (body floating) applications, these power modules can be used in applications such as medical/surgical equipment, patient treatment/monitoring and dental equipment.

The PC-mountable MCE family is comprised of four series (MCE03, MCE10, MCE20 and MCE40) that provide 3 W, 10 W, 20 W and 40 W of power. The power modules’ universal input range of 80 to 264 VAC allows them to operate globally. There are seven models in each series for a total of 28 devices with a range of single outputs from 3.3 VDC to 48 VDC (3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, 24 and 48).
All units are specifically designed for medical applications and meet worldwide medical approvals, including IEC/EN60601, EN61000-4-x for EMC immunity and EN55011 Class B (conducted and radiated) for EMC emissions. All units offer 2 × Means of Patient Protection (MOPP) isolation and Class II construction with no earth connection.
Other key specs include 4 kVAC of input-to-output isolation with an IEC Class II insulation rating, up to 88% efficiency, an operating ambient temperature range of -25°C to 70°C as well as standard overload, overvoltage and short-circuit protection. No-load input power on all units is only 0.3 W, said XP Power, making them suited for applications where a standby feature is needed.
The modules are available either fully encapsulated in a compact housing or open frame. The largest module, the encapsulated MCE40, measures 3.46 × 1.50 × 1.12 inches (87.9 × 38.1 × 28.5mm) while the unencapsulated MCE03 is housed in a 1.50 × 0.65 × 0.65-inch (38.1 × 16.5 × 16.5 mm) footprint.
The MCE40 series is priced from $20.77 for 500+ units. All four MCE series come with a three-year warranty. They are available from XP Power and its authorized distributors Allied Electronics, Digi-Key, Mouser, Newark and TRC Electronics.
