UR Group adds Astec AD50 & AD100 to portfolio

UR Group brings to the UK market two new series of high efficiency external ac-dc power adapters from Astec, which produce fully regulated outputs and feature a universal 90-264Vac input, enabling them to be used anywhere in the world. The new 50 watt AD50 series power adapters produce a single 12V output and can deliver up to 4.16A continuously, while the new 100 watt AD100 series models produce a single 48V output and can deliver up to 2.08A continuously.

Astec AD50 and AD100 series freestanding ac-dc power adapters provide a very flexible, pre-approved power solution for a wide variety of portable and desktop applications, including instrumentation, telecommunications, computer peripheral and test and measurement systems.
