XP Power have introduced two new series of low-cost compact 6 Watt DC-DC converters. Achieving a power density of 15 Watts per cubic inch and an efficiency of up to 84% (single and dual output models), the new JCE06 and JTE06 series DC-DC converters are ideal for a wide variety of of mobile communications, industrial and transportation applications.

Supplied in a plastic industry standard 24-pin DIP through hole mounting package measuring just 31.75 mm x 20.32 mm x 10.40 mm (1.25 inches x 0.80 inches x 0.40 inches), the new power supplies do not require additional forced airflow or heatsinking. This allows them to save valuable board space and keep cost to a minimum.

The single output models are available with +3.3, +5, +12, +15 or +24 VDC outputs, while the dual output models offer +/-3.3, +/-5, +/-12, +/-15 or +/-24 VDC outputs. While all models cover the popular nominal input voltages of +12, +24 or +48 VDC, the JCE06 accommodates a wide 2:1 input range and the JTE06 series an ultra wide 4:1 input range.

Operating over a wide temperature range from -40°C to +100°C, the low-cost DC-DC converters feature an under voltage input protection which shuts down the converter below a set voltage in order to prevent damage to it. Although input to output isolation is 1,500 VDC across the range, an optional 3,000 VDC isolation model is available to order quoting suffix –H. A metal case option is also available by quoting suffix –M.

Available direct from XP, or from Farnell, element14, and approved regional distributors, the JCE06 and JTE06 series of low cost compact 6 Watt DC-DC converters are supplied with a 3 year warranty.
