New Yorker Electronics has teamed up with N2Power Solutions to develop a global supply chain for power supply products. A subsidiary of Qualstar, N2Power is a manufacturer of environmentally friendly high-efficiency, ultra-small, power-dense power supplies.

With designs getting smaller and smaller and "real estate" becoming a critical factor, N2Power open-frame power supplies are some of the smallest AC-DC 125 W to 500 W units on the market. It has experience in developing extremely small volumetric size through high-quality packaging, yielding power densities over 15 watts/cubic inch.

They are also highly efficient, meaning less loss of energy in the form of heat — yielding higher mean time between failures (MTBF) and lower cooling costs. In fact, most models require little or no forced air cooling. This also results in reduced energy consumption, decreased AC loads, increased reliability and lower operating costs.

Because of the nature of the medical requirements, power supplies have to comply with stringent regulatory and certification systems — such as ultra-low leakage levels. N2Power has implemented high-level risk measures far above ISO requirements.

Features and Benefits:

  • Green by design — many supplies achieve up to 93% efficiency
  • Some designs offer active current sharing and an O'ring diode for redundancy
  • Single and multi-output models
  • I2C (power management bus (PMBus)) interface for digital power management
  • Remote on/off

Applications:

  • Medical
  • Lighting/LED
  • Information technology
  • Transportation
  • Broadcasting
  • Industrial
  • Kiosk
  • Gaming
  • Test equipment

As a franchise distributor of N2Power, New Yorker Electronics supplies its full line of AC-DC power supplies, DC-DC power supplies and enclosed power supplies. This includes N2Power’s ultra-small, high-efficiency power supplies including current sharing, remote enabled and medical switching power supplies. Variable frame types include U-frame, enclosed, DIN rail and open frame. Enclosed versions with fans are also available.
