Digi-Key Electronics announced they will be distributing Vicor Corporation's new family of high density PFM® AC-DC front-end modules in the rugged VIA package that offers superior cooling performance and versatility in converter mounting. Featuring a universal AC input range (85 – 264 VAC), power factor correction, and a fully isolated 24 VDC or 48 VDC output, and delivering 400 W of isolated, regulated, DC output power at efficiencies up to 93%, these new modules provide unprecedented power density of 127 W/in3 (8 W/cm3) and best-in-class performance in a diminutive, 9 mm thin, VIA package. The new units are ideally suited for use in a broad range of industrial, process control, telecommunications, office equipment, test and measurement, LED lighting and other 'off-line' applications.

Offering power systems designers a rugged, modular, fully integrated AC-to-DC front end solution with much higher power density than alternative products, the new PFM® AC-to-DC front-end modules are compatible with a wide variety of available downstream power conversion components.
