Advanced Energy Launches Defiant Future Family and DF150 Series
Advanced Energy Industries Inc., a global leader in precision power conversion solutions, has launched the DF150 160 W AC-DC power supply. This product is the inaugural offering in the company's new Defiant Future (DF) family, designed as a robust, high-reliability standard power supply for extreme-environment applications across various sectors. The DF150 is engineered to deliver uninterrupted power to critical applications where reliability is paramount.
The DF150 stands out by combining the rigorous performance and extensive MIL-STD certifications typically associated with custom-designed power solutions with the availability and shorter lead times of a standard commercial product. It is certified to MIL-STD 810H, ensuring resilience against harsh conditions such as shock, vibration, altitude variations, and thermal extremes. Additionally, the unit boasts enhanced electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance, certified to MIL-STD 461G, and an IP67 rating, making it fully submersible and exceeding MIL-STD ingress protection requirements for dust and liquids.
