Replacement power supplies

[Hamad bin Turki al Salami]

I deal with a line of digital devices, mostly as a dealer of used
items. Occasionally, I need to replace a dead power supply. All of
these devices need to work on power in the US, Europe, Australia,
Japan, etc. so accept 90-240V.

The devices seem to use two kinds of power supply.

Power Supply Type 1:
Form factor of about 12.7 X 7 cm.
6 pin output designated:
+5
+5
Gnd
Gnd
-12
+12

Power Supply Type 2:
Similar form factor but 10 pin output designated:
SW
VP
3.3
3.3
5.0
5.0
Gnd
Gnd
-15
+15

-----

Are these some kind of standard? Could I find a cheap generic power
supply to use for replacements?


The company that makes the devices charges $150 for a replacement power
supply, so that is not feasible. I managed to find one of the power
supplies of Type 1 on the Internet. It's the YPS-92A by Young Year
electronics. In small quantities, they want $35 each for the supplies.
Is that a good price?

I haven't been able to find the power supply type 2 on the Internet.

This sounds typical for the old ASTEC SA40-1313
http://www.shopeio.com/inventory/pdf/SA40-1313.pdf

Which seems to now be superseded by the LPT40 series
http://www.astec.com/products/datasheets/lp/LPT40.pdf and which will
also be similar to the Artesyn NFS40 series

Type 2 doesn't ring a bell with me. It might be a custom design.
