The Autec Power Systems MFS50-DHW0 is a 500 W power supply engineered for industrial applications within National Instruments PXI chassis systems. This discontinued model delivers multiple DC output rails—±12 V and +5 V and +3.3 V—from a compact form factor. Though no longer in production, refurbished and used units remain available through third-party suppliers for system integration and upgrades.
## Technical Specifications
• **Power Rating:** 500 W nominal
• **Input Voltage:** 100–240 VAC
• **Output Voltages:** ±12 V, +5 V, +3.3 V (DC)
• **Physical Dimensions:** 21.0 cm length × 8.0 cm width × 14.0 cm height
• **Weight:** Approximately 2.000 kg (4.4 lbs)
## Key Features
• Universal input voltage accommodation simplifies deployment across global supply environments
• Triple-rail DC output architecture supports diverse module voltage requirements
• Compact footprint optimized for internal chassis mounting
• Multi-output regulation enables simultaneous provisioning of analog, digital, and signal-conditioning circuits
## Typical Applications
The MFS50-DHW0 serves as the primary power distribution element in data acquisition, test automation, and instrumentation systems built on PXI platforms. Industrial measurement and control architectures relying on modular chassis designs benefit from its stable multi-voltage supply.
## Compatibility & Integration
Primary integration occurs within National Instruments PXI-1010 and PXI-1050 chassis. Standard internal bus connections enable seamless operation in 8-slot PXI subsystems and 4-slot SCXI subsystems. SCXI daisy-chaining capability expands channel density for distributed measurement applications.
**Product Status:** Manufacturer discontinued. Availability limited to refurbished and used inventory.
