The SPC 03 module is a complete switching power supply with standard Single Europa size suited for ABACO® and GPC® cards.

This feature allows a direct use inside 3HE Rack together with the cards it supplies power to and it simplifies the mounting and replacement of the same cards.

Moreover it is designed to match to other Motherboards as YPB 01, SPB 04, SPB 08, etc obtaining a significant time reduction for install and link phases.

The SPC 03 generates all the standard voltages required by microprocessor based systems, starting from a single AC or DC low input voltage, so it respects the security norms.

Some LEDs on the front side inform about the presence of the output voltages and they add the possibility to visually diagnose any possible failure.

A very important feature of SPC 03 is an auxiliary input coming from an external battery; in this case it works like an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), assuring power to the loads, with no discontinuity, even without external mains voltage.

The SPC 03 is available in 8 different models that have different generated voltages and different maximum load currents, as described in the following table:

Model	Voltage	Current	NOTE
SPC 03	5 Vdc	4 A	With Power Failure
SPC 03.12	12 Vdc	4 A	-
SPC 03.15	15 Vdc	4 A	-
SPC 03.24	24 Vdc	4 A	-
SPC 03.VT	5÷40 Vdc	4 A	Voltage regulated
SPC 03.VB	5÷40 Vdc	0,2÷4 A	Voltage and current regulated
SPC 03.3T	+5; +12; -12 Vdc	3,5 A; 0,15; 0,15 A	With Power Failure

The total supplied power is about 50 W in ambient temperature up to 60 °C, but with a proper forced ventilation a power of 70 W can be reached without problems.

• - Single Europa size measuring 100x160x25 mm
• - Electrical connection by the strong connector DIN 41612 type F
• - Matching mechanically and electrcally to YPB 01, SPB 04, SPB 08, etc.
• - Up to 3 coloured LEDs which indicate the presence of the generated voltages, placed on the front side
• - Noises reduction filters on the inputs and outputs
• - Power failure digital signal that can be used as reset for the other cards
• - Input for auxiliary voltage from a 12, 24 Vdc battery, for UPS function
• - Medium performance higher than 80%
• - Required voltage: 8÷28 Vac or 12÷40 Vdc (according to selected model)
• - Generated voltages: variable according with selected model (see previous table)
