We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "VDE", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
Start with the news release IEC-inlet filters adopt slimline form from Tyco Electronics UK, which we summarised at the time by saying "SRB filters are fully shielded and available with various capacitance values". Earlier in the week, we featured the news release Power convertor suits varying loads from Lambda: "Lambda's iAD12016A008V is particularly well-suited for powering a diverse range of loads in a variety of architectures, including distributed power".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power concerning its Astec AD50 and AD100 AC/DC power adapters - take a look at External power adapters work worldwide which says: "The Astec AD50 and AD100 series freestanding AC/DC power adapters provide a very flexible, pre-approved power solution for portable and desktop applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Emerson Network Power - Embedded Power, Adapters are made for charging portable CE devices, as well as Thermostats go on lines, chassis and boards from Abacus Group, and Transformers outperform expensive alternatives from PowerPax UK.
