Compact industrial power supplies in the new S8VK range from Omron have an exceptionally wide operating temperature range – from -40ºC to +70ºC for the S8VK-G family – guaranteeing stable operation even in the toughest environments where other power supplies may be found wanting. Omron’s new power supplies also offer fast, easy installation with an enhanced click-on DIN-rail mounting clip, and they feature multiple output terminals – two positive and three negative – to simplify and speed-up wiring.

S8VK power supplies are typically 13% smaller than similarly rated units, making them the most compact of their type currently available, which means that valuable panel space savings can easily be made. The small size of the units has, however, been achieved without compromising performance or reliability – in addition to their wide operating temperature range, all models offer high vibration and shock resistance, complemented by superior MTBF ratings.

The new units, which build on Omron’s expertise as a leading manufacturer of industrial power supplies since 1987, are available in three families: cost-effective S8VK-C Lite, standard S8VK-G Pro and top of the range S8VK-R (redundancy unit) Pro Plus.

The Lite family is an ideal choice for cost-sensitive applications that require a dependable high-quality power supply. Power supplies in this family have an operating temperature range of -20º to +60ºC and a universal 100 to 240 V 50/60 Hz input capability. S8VK-C Lite power supplies are offered with power ratings from 60 W to 480 W.

For users requiring greater versatility, Omron recommends the standard S8VK-G Pro family. Designed as “fit and forget” products, units in this family can be operated in parallel, and also offer longer lifetime, higher protection, an even wider operating temperature range of -40º to +70ºC and a 120% power-boost capability to cope with short-term current peaks.

The S8VK-G Pro family is suitable for operation with 100 to 240 V single-phase 50/60 Hz or 90 to 350 V dc inputs and can be supplied with power ratings from 15 W to 480 W.

S8VK-R Pro Plus products are redundancy units that have been designed to meet the most critical requirements, and allow fully redundant operation. Features include visual indicators for redundancy and current balance status, as well as a signalling output for supply status confirmation.
