TDK Corporation (TSE:6762) announces push-in wire terminations for models in the high-reliability, TDK-Lambda HWS-A family of AC-DC power supplies. The HWS-A/E models are available with either vertical or horizontal orientated terminals, simplifying cable harnessing. Designed to automate manufacturing processes, the HWS-A/E models are both time and cost effective, and improve reliability. The terminal levers enable the insertion of wires and ferrules without the need for tools, and unlike screw terminal blocks, no torque requirements or routine testing is required.

The HWS-A/E series accepts an 85 to 265Vac input, withstanding a peak voltage of 300Vac for 5 seconds. The push-in terminal options are available for 12, 15, 24, and 48V outputs and 50, 100, and 150W rated models. All models are certified to IEC / EN / UL / CSA 62368-1, IEC / EN 62477-1 (OVC III) and UL 508, with CE and UKCA marking to the Low Voltage, EMC, and RoHS Directives.

The TDK-Lambda HWS series is unique to the industry, providing a limited lifetime warranty. Conservative component ratings and temperatures, including the electrolytic capacitors, ensure long operating field life.
