J40 ultra-slim surge PDU

The J40 Series delivers advanced surge suppression and power distribution in an ultra-slim, low-profile chassis built for space-constrained commercial electronics. Engineered for digital signage, kiosks, gaming systems, and point-of-sale, it installs flat behind thin displays and inside compact enclosures – with side-facing receptacles, up to 2400 joules of thermal-fuse MOV protection, an illuminated reset button for instant power status and restoration, and a 5-year warranty.

Overview

Ultra-slim surge protection architecture

The J40 is designed for installations where traditional PDUs or UPS systems cannot fit. Its ultra-slim profile and side-facing connections allow mounting behind displays, inside kiosks, and within compact enclosures – bringing surge protection and distribution directly to the point of use without adding enclosure depth or impacting system design. An illuminated reset button provides immediate power-status visibility and quick manual power cycling without unplugging equipment, supporting fast recovery in operational environments.

Key features

What the J40 delivers

Suppression

Up to 2400-joule surge

Advanced surge suppression absorbs spikes, surges, and transients to safeguard sensitive connected electronics.

Control

Illuminated reset button

Clear visual power status plus instant manual power restoration without unplugging equipment.

Profile

Ultra-slim flat-mount

A low-profile chassis (1.22 in deep) installs flat behind thin displays and inside compact enclosures.

Protection

Thermal-fuse MOV

Thermal-fused MOV modules guard against overvoltage and heat, compliant with UL 1449 (3rd Edition).

Access

Side-facing receptacles

Side-mounted inlet and outlets enable clean integration and cable routing in tight, shallow spaces.

Mounting

Wall, ceiling, or surface

Brackets included for mounting in any orientation; optional right-angle, offset input cord for tight installs.

Protection & control

Surge protection with quick power reset

The J40 provides surge suppression for sensitive electronics exposed to unstable power, while the integrated illuminated reset button lets users quickly restore power after a trip event without accessing upstream sources. On the J40E, the illuminated reset is remote-mounted on a 10-ft cable – enabling control in embedded or otherwise inaccessible installations. This combination of protection and convenient control reduces downtime and simplifies field service.

The J40 is a surge PDU – protection and distribution, not battery backup. For short-duration ride-through, pair it with the J60 compact lithium UPS.

Where it fits

The J40 in the Xtreme Power portfolio

The J40 is the compact surge protection and distribution platform in the Xtreme Power line, used where space is limited and power-quality protection is required. As needs grow, the portfolio scales: J40 for surge protection and compact distribution, J60 for ultra-compact lithium UPS backup, J90 for rack-mounted online UPS, and SPDU for monitored, switched rack distribution.

Need outlet-level switching, metering, and remote reboot in a rack instead of a behind-display surge unit?
