LE HAILLAN, France – Gaia Converter in Le Haillan, France, is introducing the GRD-50A-M family of 500-Watt integrated power supplies for demanding military and aerospace applications.

The GRD-50A-M family of power supplies are for military vehicles; avionics; high-power lighting; and directed-energy weapons.

Engineered to comply with mil-spec guidelines and industry open-systems standards, the GRD-50A-M integrates several functions into a compact module to reduce design complexity while ensuring performance.

MIL-STD-461

These power supplies comply with MIL-STD-1275, MIL-STD-704, and MIL-STD-461; offer as much as 500 Watts of output power in 12-, 15-, 24-, 28-, or 48-volt versions; offer overload, reverse polarity, transient up to 100 volts DC.

The power supplies offer 89 percent efficiency with protections for short circuits, overvoltage, and overtemperatures; measure 255 by 70 by 24.25 millimeters; and operate in temperatures from -40 to 85 degrees Celsius at the base-plate, and -40 to 105 C at the converter case.

The power supplies offer 1500 volts DC primary-secondary isolation, 500 volts DC chassis isolation, and several configuration options. For more information contact Gaia Converter online at www.gaia-converter.com.
