N2Power Announces the XL260-2 ATX Quad-Output AC-DC Power Supply

Only 1.3" High, Ideal for OEM Systems Designs
On Monday June 29, 2009, 8:05 am EDT
N2Power, a Qualstar Company (NASDAQ:QBAK - News), today announced the XL260-2 ATX, the first model in its planned family of ATX compatible AC-DC switching power supplies. Delivering one 24V, two 12V and 5V outputs, the XL260-2 ATX supply is designed to replace oversized and inefficient ATX-format supplies used in OEM applications where very small size, high efficiency and reliability are critical. Leveraging N2Power's unique "green" packaging technology, the XL260-2 ATX delivers more power in less space, while reducing wasted input power and lowering cooling requirements. This unique design leaves the heat in the load, not in the power supply, reducing power consumption, improving reliability and lowering cost of ownership.
The XL260-2 ATX power supply is expressly designed for OEM applications such as gaming, embedded systems and networking systems. The XL260-2 ATX delivers 260 watts of output power from just 15.9 square inches of system design real estate. Very low profile packaging yields more than 12.5 watts per cubic inch power density in less than 1U, making the system designer's job much easier.
"OEMs have requested a state-of-the-art replacement for outdated ATX power supplies that provides both high efficiency and much higher power density," said Randy Johnson, N2Power Business Unit Manager. "The XL260-2 ATX exceeds both requirements, and its small footprint means easy integration into their legacy designs."
The XL260-2 ATX incorporates the same industry leading features as N2Power's widely regarded XL125, XL160, XL275 and new XL375 power supply families, including active power factor correction for reduced input power, inrush current limiting and remote on-off. N2Power supplies meet a full range of international agency requirements, including RoHS, UL, CE Mark and FCC Class B.
N2Power's power supplies are sold worldwide through its network of representatives and distributors. Sample units are available. Call 805-583-7744 or visit http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Au5v_I9xGWQC53X4I0FuR1Stcq9_/SIG=10smu9lu2/**http://www.n2power.com/ for further information.
