Lind Electronics - Ruggedized Laptop Power Adapters and Supplies

Lind Electronics is a manufacturer of ruggedized DC/DC, AC/DC power adapters, power control devices and custom military cable mold assemblies.

Lind is a direct support or OEM supplier to Panasonic, Harris, Raytheon, Dell, Motion Computer, Getac, Kontron, and other leading ruggedized computer manufacturers. Lind also has power products available for all major brands of notebook, subnotebook, tablet, and handheld computers.

MIL-STD POWER ADAPTERS

These ruggedized DC/DC converters are designed to operate laptops and other portable electronic devices from military vehicles, military batteries, and civilian vehicles. Lind's MIL-STD adapters are tested and certified to the electrical and environmental standards of MIL-STD461E, MIL-STD1275B and MIL-STD810F.

The MIL-STD power adapters are designed to operate from an input voltage range of 12VDC-32VDC and they also have a variety of input and output cable options. The standard input and output cables are bare leads but cables are available for use with NATO slave plugs, BA5590 style batteries, and other military connectors.

RUGGEDIZED POWER ADAPTERS

Lind Electronics designs and builds DC/DC converters for almost any device that needs to be powered from a DC source. The output power capabilities of our adapters range from 5W to 150W. Dual and triple output adapters are also available for powering multiple devices from one DC source.

Common applications of the dual output adapters would be to power a notebook and a printer or a notebook and a radio. Adapters are available that can operate from input voltage ranges from 11VDC-16VDC, 12VDC-32VDC, and 36VDC-78VDC. These adapters are not MIL-SPEC, however they are designed for use in harsh environments. Most adapters are potted with epoxy potting material that makes them impervious to damage from vibrations, dust, and moisture.

MILITARY CABLES AND CABLE ASSEMBLIES

Lind Electronics supplies and manufacturers specialized cable assemblies and connectors for military applications. We have designed special interface cables for use with military batteries and power sources such as the NATO slave plug.

Cables are available for 5590 style batteries as well as many of the new rechargeable models. We specialize in quick turnaround for custom cable projects in both high and low volume production runs.

LITHIUM-ION POWER PACKS

Lind Electronics' MaxPower batteries are thin, lightweight rechargeable external battery packs that can extend notebook run times up to 16-hours. They are designed to run the notebook when the user will be away from either AC or DC power for an extended period of time.

These battery packs are 0.5in thick and have the same footprint as most laptops so they are easily carried along with the computer. Models are available for most notebooks.

RUGGEDIZED AC/DC/DC COMBINATION ADAPTERS

The ruggedized AC/DC/DC combination adapters feature the same ruggedized design as our ruggedized DC/DC converters with the added benefit of an integrated AC/DC adapter as well.

The input power can range from 90VAC-264VAC 47Hz-63Hz (400Hz AC/DC also available) to 12VDC-32VDC input. The output power can be as high as 80W.

DC BACKUP POWER UPS SYSTEM FOR MOBILE APPLICATIONS

The Lind DC backup power UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) system is a reliable DC power source that will operate electronic equipment for a short time when emergency power is needed. When 12VDC or 24VDC input power is unavailable, the internal battery in this back-up system can provide power for up to one hour (actual time varies based on load). This system will automatically provide back-up power when input power is interrupted.

LIND POWER CASE

The Lind power case is specifically designed to provide auxiliary DC power for laptops and other peripheral devices. The power case comes equipped with up to four high energy density 100W/hr NiMH battery packs.

The advanced battery charger provides safe and rapid charging of the battery packs under all conditions. The power case can charge and run from AC or 12VDC-32VDC power sources. Up to 130W of total load can be obtained from the 12VDC batteries or from the integral DC/DC converter.
