Replacement power supplies

Dec 15, 2006 3 Replies

I deal with a line of digital devices, mostly as a dealer of used items. Occasionally, I need to replace a dead power supply. All of these devices need to work on power in the US, Europe, Australia, Japan, etc. so accept 90-240V.



The devices seem to use two kinds of power supply.



Power Supply Type 1: Form factor of about 12.7 X 7 cm.



6 pin output designated:
+5
+5 Gnd Gnd

-12



+12

Power Supply Type 2: Similar form factor but 10 pin output designated: SW VP



3.3
3.3
5.0
5.0 Gnd Gnd

-15



+15

Are these some kind of standard? Could I find a cheap generic power supply to use for replacements?


The company that makes the devices charges $150 for a replacement power supply, so that is not feasible. I managed to find one of the power supplies of Type 1 on the Internet. It's the YPS-92A by Young Year electronics. In small quantities, they want $35 each for the supplies. Is that a good price?



I haven't been able to find the power supply type 2 on the Internet.

This sounds typical for the old ASTEC SA40-1313

Which seems to now be superseded by the LPT40 series

and which will also be similar to the Artesyn NFS40 series

Type 2 doesn't ring a bell with me. It might be a custom design.
