Würth Elektronik expands its MID-POE Power over Ethernet transformer series to include PoE++.

These SMT transformers are suitable for Flyback or Active Clamp Forward power supplies that comply with the IEEE 802.3bt (four-pair power over Ethernet, 4PPoE, also known as PoE++) standard. The ten new transformers can provide an output power of up to 95 W.

High power densities

Demand for more power in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices has risen due to the advancements in smart and IoT (Internet of Things) applications.

In response to this demand, Würth Elektronik expanded its MID-POE series for IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (60 W) and Type 4 (90 W) devices. These transformers utilize the low-profile EFD20 and EFD25 packages and offer high power densities over a wide range of common PoE output voltages.

Device Applications

The new series is suitable for devices such as video conferencing systems, automation control systems, smart IP cameras, and much more.

Customer-specific versions are possible on request. All MID-POE transformers are available from stock without a minimum order quantity.
