EDAC EPM118A Series
300W Open Frame Power Supply With 2 x MOPP And 25.4 mm Low Profile
When system power increases, space usually does not.
Medical platforms, industrial controllers, and embedded ITE systems demand more output power, stricter safety compliance, and higher efficiency - but within the same 4" x 2" footprint.
The new EDAC EPM118A Series addresses exactly this challenge. It delivers up to 300W forced air power in a compact open-frame design, while meeting both medical and ICT safety standards.
More Power In The Same 4" x 2" Architecture
Building on EDAC’s established 4" x 2" platform, the EPM118A Series significantly increases power density without increasing mechanical dimensions.
Compared to the previous EPM1153 series (150W convection / 200W forced air), the new generation provides:
- 180W with convection cooling
- 300W with forced air
- Up to 450W peak load for 3 seconds
- 150% peak load capability (3 seconds)
All within the same industry-standard footprint and a low-profile height of only 25.4 mm.
This makes the EPM118A ideal for space-constrained embedded systems and compact medical equipment.
Global Input And Wide Output Range
The EPM118A Series supports:
- Universal input: 100–240VAC
- Wide output voltage range: 12V to 54V
- System startup
- Motor activation
- Short-term load spikes
- System startup
- Motor activation
- Short-term load spikes
Integrated Active PFC ensures compliance with modern power quality requirements.
The strong peak load capability guarantees stable system behavior during:
- System startup
- Motor activation
- Short-term load spikes
Medical And ICT Safety Compliance
The EPM118A Series is the first EDAC high-power board-mount platform designed to comply simultaneously with medical and ICT standards.
It meets:
- 2 x MOPP isolation requirements
- IEC/EN/UL 60601-1 (Medical)
- UL 62368-1 (ITE/ICT)
- Relevant EMC standards
Low leakage current and reinforced insulation ensure suitability for safety-critical systems.
Efficiency And Long-Term Reliability
High efficiency reduces thermal stress and extends system lifetime.
Key performance parameters:
- Average efficiency ≥ 90%
- No-load power consumption ≤ 0.3W
- MTBF > 100,000 hours
This combination supports energy savings, reduced heat generation, and long-term operational stability in critical infrastructure environments.
Comprehensive Protection Architecture
The EPM118A integrates full protection mechanisms with auto-recovery:
- Short circuit protection
- Over-voltage protection
- Over-current protection
- Over-temperature protection
These features increase system robustness and reduce downtime risk.
Designed For Easy Integration
Thanks to its 25.4 mm ultra-low profile and lightweight open-frame construction, the EPM118A can be integrated easily into:
- Medical devices
- Industrial control systems
- Embedded computing platforms
- Compact automation equipment
Customized solutions are available to meet specific environmental or mechanical requirements.
