In recent years, ZETTLER Magnetics has greatly expanded its range of cost effective, plug and play AC-DC power modules. From additional power ratings, input and output voltages, extended temperature ratings to optional EMI shielding, the ZETTLER Magnetics portfolio is now one of the most diverse in the industry.

These fully encapsulated modules are ideal for a multitude of applications including smart energy solutions, indoor and outdoor lighting control, white goods, electric vehicle charging and IoT. The pre-certified solutions simplify power electronics design enabling faster time to market.

The ZETTLER Magnetics power module portfolio provides options such as our High Performance (HP) series to a lower cost(ZP) series both with an output power ranging from 1 Watt to 20 Watt. Additionally, the HP-X Series comes with integrated zero-cross detection. The output is electrically isolated from the mains input and monitors frequency and phase of the AC input. Our technology roadmap remains extensive with designs for 30 Watt and beyond.

Our updated downloadable PDF provides a complete overview of the entire module line-up from ZETTLER Magnetics, listing all pertinent key features with easy-to use links to all relevant data sheets.

Our power modules can also be customized. From mounting options, flying leads, shielding to specific electrical requirements. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

Product Spotlight, July 2020.

Driven by the global COVID-19 pandemic, demand for home and industrial appliances with sanitizing functions, such as air purifiers, UV lights, and embedded sanitizing devices for dish washers or washing machines has increased rapidly.

Due to new international regulations of the Minamata Convention, traditional UV sanitizing solutions using mercury-based UV tubes are in the process of being discontinued.

A new generation of UVC LEDs are the leading replacement technology, offering the necessary performance and cost benefits the industry demands. With appropriate power and duration of light exposure, the DNA/RNA of any virus or bacteria will be destroyed. In fact, tests have demonstrated that UVC can effectively kill the Covid-19 virus.

ZETTLER Magnetics has developed a complete UVC LED embedded solution for home appliance manufacturers. The solution includes the necessary driver/controller circuitry, transformer and enclosure for the module to be easily embedded into any appliance.

Solution features and benefits:

• UVC 275nm type, 2mW-20mW light power
• Embedded MCU, providing multiple I/O and A/D ports
• Design flexibility, from driver component to complete module design
• Capability to withstand 1.6MPa water pressure

ZETTLER Magnetics is pleased to announce the operational launch of its new wholly owned manufacturing facility in Vietnam.

Southern Vietnam is rapidly becoming an important manufacturing hub within Asia and is the ideal location for ZETTLER Group to continue its strategic plans for global growth and geographic diversification.

The initial product lines to be manufactured at the Vietnam facility will be our wide range of Linear Transformers. Additional product groups will be identified in subsequent steps as we keep expanding the scope and size of this operation.

Located in the Long An Province of Ho Chi Minh City, ZETTLER Vietnam aims to replicate the tremendous success and growth of ZETTLER’s primary manufacturing facility situated in Xiamen, China.
With over 20,000 square feet of expandable manufacturing space, ZETTLER Vietnam is fully ISO9001 and UL Certified.

Company introduces High Performance SMPS series and patent-pending Zero-Cross features.

NEWS RELEASE

Aliso Viejo, CA, USA/Xiamen, China/ Hong Kong/Munich, Germany – April 4, 2017 – ZETTLER Magnetics announces the expansion of its successful line of AC-DC switch-mode power supply modules (SMPS) by introducing a special high-performance series.

In addition to the well-established benefits of the regular Zettler SMPS series that include easy plug-and-play, compact encapsulated design, universal input range, and ultra-low power consumption, the high performance HP series will feature extra wide ambient temperature capability, and an extended life time of MTBF> 1 million hours.

The HP series will initially be available for 1W-3 W output power, with various output voltages, and an extended input voltage range of 85VAC-305VAC.

A special subset of the new HP series, the ‘X-Series’, features a patent pending zero-cross detection and monitoring capability, which supports increased efficiency of power Thyristor circuits and extended component life time, e.g. for relays, if switching occurs at zero-crossing. In addition, certain sensing applications, such as those found in the ‘smart home’ market, require the elimination of 50/60 Hz noise which the zero-cross feature can help accomplish by synchronizing built-in A/D converters with the mains frequency.

Zettler Magnetics SMPS are deployed in a wide range of applications such as Smart Home controls, wireless switching, lighting controls (incl. LED boards), Test and Measurement devices such as smart meters, as well as a variety of White Goods and Appliances.

Zettler Magnetics has published a comprehensive Product PDF for its SMPS product lines that can be accessed and downloaded at: www.zettlermagnetics.com/encapsulated-switch-mode-power-modules/product-program/

Zettler is offering competitively priced sealed transformer solutions with Class 2 UL ratings – featuring smaller footprints and reduced heat emission for applications such as LED Lighting, Electric Metering, Motor Controls and Thermostats.

Aliso Viejo, California November 09, 2015

Engineers working on applications in LED Lighting, Electric Metering, Motor controls and Thermo Controls keep asking for transformer solutions with smaller footprints, less heat emission at lower prices, and, of course, a Class 2 UL rating.

Zettler Magnetics, a company with years of development experience in the design of encapsulated linear power transformers is responding to these requests with its top-of-class BV series of sealed transformers.

Zettler’s BV series encapsulated Class 2 UL rated transformers:

• Deliver significant reduction in physical footprint compared to traditional open frame formats.
• Have superior thermal characteristics that make them run up to 5 degrees C cooler in continuous duty, and up to 40 degrees C cooler in surge testing than previous generations, due to ultra-high winding efficiency and vacuum-sealed epoxy processes.
• Feature an unrivaled 14kV surge withstand capability based on a patent pending Zettler split-bobbin design.
• Provide minimized EMI noise without the added cost of a shield, as a result of proprietary assembly methods employed at Zettler Group’s China wholly owned manufacturing facilities.

With output loads ranging from 0.6-10VA, Zettler Magnetics’ BV series is perfect for a wide range of products including thermostats, lighting controls, and oxygen concentrators. Dielectric strength is 4200Vrms, and external insulation is optional for increased dielectric withstand between the component and the PCB. Zettler BV transformers are also ideally suited for the alternative energy market – Solar inverters and smart grid meters are just two possible applications.

Zettler’s highly automated production lines makes the BV series price competitive when compared to similarly-sized open frame models. BV series pricing starts under $1.00 in 10K quantities.

Samples are available on request. For more information, please visit our BV series webpage at /encapsulated-power
