DC converters meet high levels of energy efficiency

 The converters cover an output range of 3.0 to 30W. The range is designed to for efficiency characteristics at both low and full load levels to reduce overall energy consumption in line with the latest energy efficiency requirements.

Design effort is targeted at meeting the highest levels of efficiency, with full load efficiency up to 90%, low load efficiency up to 78% and no load power consumption as low as 0.12W. These improvements are claimed to increase product reliability due to the lack of temperature rise at low loads that is often seen with older technologies.

The range features both single and dual output models with single outputs from 3.3 to 24V DC and dual outputs in the range ±5.0 to ±24V DC. All outputs feature a start-up time which is typically significantly shorter than competitive converters.These converters feature 4:1 inputs with 9.0 to 36V DC and 18 to 75V DC available as standard with input to output isolation in the range 1.5 to 6kV DC.

All models feature input under voltage, output over-voltage, short circuit and over-current protection. The operating temperature range is -40 to +85°C and they feature an MTBF of minimum 100khrs to MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C. All models are approved to UL/EN60950.

PCB mounting DIPs are offered, as well as optional mounts for chassis and DIN rail mounting.
