p-box Plug & Play - Replacements with possible updates.

[Omega-TI]

Mean Time Before Failure - It's starting to look like this is beginning to effect more and more P-Box power supplies.

Preemptive Maintenance - Fixing the situation before it destroys something else more expensive with it's failure or, puts one out of service.

Plug & Play - Designed so even the least technical people in the consumer market will feel comfortable installing it, ensuring more sales.

Limited Targeted Market - Niche markets, usually have test markets or single runs of a moderate size to keep costs down.

 

I'm thinking it may be time for "someone out there" to consider a viable Plug & Play replacement for the P-Box power supply. 

 

1 - Could the cost be reasonable? (How much are you willing to spend for an easy replacement to protect your equipment)

2 - Could it be a direct replacement, not requiring any other modifications from the customer.

3 - Could there be "an extra" on the board as a further inducement to purchase?  (Example:  USB power port)

Oh yeah, as to #3 on the list in the above message, wouldn't this look cool on the front of any modern users P-Box?

Meanwell makes power supplies with quad outputs and various voltages. Get one that outputs +/-15 and +/-9 at the correct amperage levels and you should be good to go without having to change any of the card regulators. . .
