The DC/DC converters offer a wide input range, compact design, and special features for reliable, space-efficient power in demanding environments.
The THN 15UIR and THN 20UIR series from Traco Power are robust DC/DC converters that showcase an ultra-wide 12:1 input voltage range and deliver power outputs of 15 watts and 20 watts respectively. These converters are housed in a compact, fully encapsulated 1”x1” package, designed specifically to maximize reliability in demanding environments. This design ensures that they perform consistently under varying conditions, making them ideal for applications where stability and endurance are critical.
A unique feature of these models is their holdup capacitor connections, which allow for extended holdup times without the reliance on large, cumbersome input capacitors. This innovative design enhances the practicality of the converters in settings where space efficiency and functionality are paramount. By optimizing for extended holdup times, these converters address a critical need in power-sensitive applications, ensuring reliability without the bulk typically associated with high-performance converters.
Some of the key features include:
- Compact 1”x1” housing
- Ultra-wide 12:1 input voltage range: 9–75, 14–160 VDC
- –40°C up to +70°C natural convection cooling without derating
- EN 50155, EN 45545-2 and EN 61373 certified
- Dedicated holdup capacitor connection
- Fully encapsulated
- Reinforced 3000VAC I/O isolation
- Remote on/off and trim function
- Protection against short-circuit (SCP), overvoltage (OVP) and overtemperature (OTP)
Moreover, these converters come with a comprehensive suite of certifications that meet rigorous industry standards, thereby broadening their potential uses. They are certified under EN 50155 for rolling stock applications, EN 61373 for shock and vibration resilience, and EN 45545-2 for fire behavior. Additionally, the series comply with the IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 safety standards, qualifying them for a wide array of industrial applications that demand high safety and reliability. This makes them particularly beneficial for industrial equipment manufacturers, as well as electrical engineers and system designers who need robust, reliable, and space-efficient power solutions.
