BOHEMIA, N.Y. – Data Device Corp. (DDC) in Bohemia, N.Y., is introducing a 280-Watt power converter to supply 28-volt commercial aviation power for in-flight entertainment and communications (IFEC) electronics.

The power converter also is for USB charging ports for portable electronic devices to as many as 18 aircraft seats.

The 1-14683-R converter's space-saving design enables more comfort and space for passengers by eliminating the need for below-seat boxes, brackets, or shrouds.

This compact unit can be mounted within the cabin wall or ceiling, out of the way of aircraft passengers.

The power unit "affords aircraft integrators a cost effective means to shorten installation time, while freeing up valuable cabin space for passenger comfort and safety", sats Graham Jefferies, DDC's managing director for DDC Electronics Limited.
