Murata Power Solutions' low-power, high brightness, three-and-a-half digit, DMS-20PC digital panel voltmeters are now available with 'brilliant blue' or 'pure green' LED colours in addition to the current 'low-power red'.

The DMS-20PC series provides a sub-miniature, low-cost system in applications such as battery chargers, power amplifiers, rack-mounted power and high-end consumer electronics.

Advances in LED Technology have allowed Murata to offer the two new colours. Innovations in LED drive circuit technology developed by Murata and used in the DMS-20PC range mean that power consumption is just 12 to 17mA for blue and green LED models, and 7 to 12mA for red LED versions (all @ +5VDC). This low-power performance has been achieved without a reduction in LED brightness.

Housed in an epoxy-encapsulated 12-pin DIP package with a built-in colour filter and bezel, the DMS-20PC series offers component-like plug-in convenience and is moisture and vibration proof making it well suited to use in the harshest environments. 

Operating temperature range is 0ºC to +60ºC. The fully self-contained and fully functional meters combine a precision A/D converter and a factory-trimmed, highly stable voltage reference.

The dimensions of 35mm (1.38in.) x 22mm (0.88in.) x 12mm (0.48in.) are only slightly larger than the 9.4mm (0.37in.) high display itself therefore helping to maximize use of space in customer applications.
