TDK HFE2500 series of 2.5kW front-end power supplies

By Ismini Scouras, 04.12.12 0

TDK Corp. has released the HFE2500 series of 2.5kW front-end power supplies for distributed power, hot-pluggable and redundant power systems.

The HFE2500 series operate off a universal AC input of from 85 to 265VAC, with active PFC, and provides a well regulated DC output of 12V, 24V or 48V. Operating efficiencies of up to 93% are typical.

With the 19-inch rack-mount enclosure, as many as four supplies can be paralleled with automatic load-sharing to provide up to 9.5kW of output power. A popular option is an integral MCU in each supply that allows for remote programming, monitoring, and status reporting via an isolated I²C and PMBus interface. In addition, an energy-saving feature of the I²C/PMBus interface is that rack-mounted HFE2500 supplies can be individually turned On/Off as the total system load demand varies over time.

The HFE2500 supplies, each measuring only 1.61"H x 4.21"W x 12.8"L, can be used individually or as many as four can be mounted in an 1U-high 19-inch rack enclosure to form a paralleled connected, load-sharing, hot-swap, N + M redundant 9.5kW power system.

Key applications for the HFE2500 series include data centers, wireless base stations, industrial automation, telecommunications, RF power amplifiers, network equipment, storage systems, defense (COTS) and distributed power architectures (DPA).

Pricing: $689.00 each in quantities of 100 units.
