Compact design delivers performance equal to or better than larger drives. Designed to be PCB embedded for demanding OEM equipment. No wires and smaller size = less cost and easier installation - just plug'm in!

Z-Drives are a culmination of advances in manufacturing technology. By utilizing dual sided PCB boards, high efficiency power devices and creative design we are able to make the Z-Drives possible.

These drives are designed to be integrated into your PCB and come in multiple architectures with features previously found only in larger drives. Wish the Z-Drives were available on your last project? Want them for your next project? Compare...
