RECOM, represented in Australia and New Zealand by Soanar , have introduced a new 20W to 50W power range DC/DC converter series. The PowerlinePlus series are the first modules to incorporate RECOM’s innovative ICE Technology - Innovation in Converter Excellence - a combination of techniques to minimise internal heat dissipation and maximise the heat transfer to ambient to create a new converter series, which offers high end performance.
PowerlinePlus converters are efficient DC-DC power solution modules and meet the requirements of military, avionics, and high-end industrial applications with a case temperature operating range of -45°C to +120°C, built-in Class B EMC filters and fully protected outputs.
PowerlinePlus converters combine a high efficiency design with an integrated heat sink case to deliver power over a wider temperature range while requiring less space and cost.
Following are the features of PowerlinePlus converters:
- Case temperature operating range of -45°C to +120°C
- Ambient temperature range up to +100°C (natural convection)
- Start-up at -45°C ambient
- Built-in FCC/ EN55022 Class B EMC filter (no external components required)
- High efficiency and low stand-by current
- Six-sided shielded enclosure with integrated heat sink
- Compact, low case weight
- High galvanic isolation of up to 3kV DC
- Fully protected outputs
- Industry standard pin-outs
The PowerlinePlus converter series consists of six new module offerings.
RPP20-S_D: This series provides 20W of power with 2:1 input voltage range, single or dual output options, 2kV DC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 90% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +100°C without de-rating in a case size of 2 x1.2 inches.
RPP20-S_DW: Similar to the RPP20-S_D, this converter series offers an extra-wide 4:1 input voltage range.
RPP30-S_D: This converter provides 30W of power with 2:1 input voltage range, single or dual output options, 3kV DC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 92% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +96°C without de-rating in a case size of 2 x1.2 inches.
RPP30-S_DW: Similar to the RPP30, this converter series offers an extra-wide 4:1 input voltage range.
RPP40-S: This converter provides 40W of power with 2:1 input, single output, 3kV DC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 92% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +89°C without de-rating in a compact case size of 2 x1.2 inches.
RPP50-S: This converter provides 50W of power with 2:1 input, single output, 3kV DC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 91% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +81°C without de-rating in a compact case size of 2 x 1.2 inches.
Commercial off the shelf: This means any military application where the full MilSpec is not required or where a standard converter rather than a custom-built military converter is acceptable.
