PLANO, TX--(Marketwire - July 13, 2010) - Lineage Power Corporation, a Gores Group company and the first name in power, today announced the availability of its new family of Stingray™ isolated DC-DC regulated converter board mounted power modules that provide superior energy efficiency with no thermal derating at a market-leading price point. The Stingray series of modules underscores the need for a new generation of rugged, board-mounted power solutions that can keep 3G and 4G/LTE wireless communications flowing in the most extreme environmental conditions -- without the use of cooling fans.
