Signal Transformer, a division of Bel Fuse Inc., (NASDAQ: BELFA
and BELFB) today announced that its high efficiency M4L Series of
International Power Isolation Transformers has expanded its
certification to numerous UL Safety Standards, including UL 60601-1
(medical electrical equipment). The 12-part series offers OEMs the
ability to streamline access to global markets while cutting the
cost and shortening the process of obtaining new product safety
agency approvals.
Additionally, M4L transformers can be customized within a
variety of configurations while maintaining all their UL Safety
Agency approvals, usually at no additional cost.
Incorporating double reinforced insulation, the M4L Series is
ideally suited for a diversity of safety-critical applications such
as fire alarms and security systems, emergency lighting, deep
mining exploration, hot tubs, spas and patient-connected medical
devices. The series' construction utilizes low-loss silicon steel
for higher efficiency and UL 94V0 flame rated polymers. In
addition, their UL Class F rated insulation system permits
operation in high ambient temperatures up to 80°C. Moreover, their
non-concentric construction provides superior isolation, <30 µA
leakage current, and more than 12 mm of creepage distance between
the primary and secondary windings. All M4L transformers are rated
to 4 KV hipot, however they were successfully tested to 12 KV
without breakdown.
The UL certification of the M4L Series includes safety standards
UL 60601-1, UL 60950-1, UL 1097 and UL 2097. Certification to these
standards assures the parts can be used in products and appliances
covered by a variety of UL standards including 864, 913, 916, 924,
1012, and 1238.
Engineered to facilitate secure and rapid connectivity as well
as to prevent accidental shock, the M4Ls incorporate Touch-Safe
terminals (IP20) that provide a screw/binding clamp for hard
wiring, together with 3/16" and 1/4" Fast-On connections. Their
compact size and vertical-mount configuration accommodates
space-restricted enclosures, optimizes installation flexibility and
allows easy access for terminating.
Parts are offered with power ratings of 300 VA, 450 VA, 600 VA
or 1000 VA and input voltage's range from 100 V to 480 V to further
promote design flexibility. The M4L transformers are supplied in
four sizes, ranging from 4.20" (106.68 mm) L x 4.08" (103.51 mm) W
x 3.75" (95.30 mm) H, to 4.89" (124.20 mm) L x 5.70" (144.78 mm) W
x 5.25" (133.40 mm) H, and range in weight from 7.0 lbs (3.18 kg)
to 22.0 lbs (10.0 kg).
In 50 unit quantities, M4L Series transformers range in price
from $67.25 to $146.55 each. Delivery is from stock to 6 weeks.
