ELECTRONICS:CUI Inc’s power division, V-Infinity, announces an extension of its high efficiency, high density VMS line with the 365 watt VMS-365 series. These units have an industry leading power density of 19 W/ in³ and come in an open frame package measuring 3.00 x 5.00 x 1.40 inch. The VMS-365 can be used in a wide variety of medical and telecom applications, meeting EN60601-1 & ITE EN60950-1 safety standards. With typical efficiency above 90 percent, this series is ideal for applications where power consumption is a critical consideration.
The VMS-365 series offers universal input (90-264V ac) and single output voltages of 12, 24, and 48V dc. This model outputs 365W with 400 LFM cooling and 200W under convection cooling conditions. It has a built-in active PFC function and a 12V auxiliary fan output with 5V stand by. The series can operate from -20 to 50C at full load, derating linearly to 50 percent load at 70C. Protections built-in to the VMS-365 include over-temperature, over current and over-voltage.
The VMS-365 series is available immediately through Digi-Key with prices starting at $230 per unit. Please contact CUI for OEM pricing.

For industrial control applications, or even a simple assembly line, that machine can go almost 24/7 without a break. But what happens when the task is a little more complex? That’s where the “smart” machine would come in. The smart machine is one that has some simple (or complex in some cases) processing capability to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Such machines are suited for a host of applications, including automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, computers and electronics, telecommunications, consumer goods, and so on. This radio show will show what’s possible with smart machines, and what tradeoffs need to be made to implement such a solution.
