40W DC-DCs for Railway and Industrial Designs
RECOM has expanded its offering of dc-dc converters for harsh environments with the addition of the 40W RP40-FR series certified for use in rolling stock as well as industrial applications requiring compliance with recognized safety standards. EN50155 certification ensures that the RP40-FR series is suitable for harsh environments which can be encountered in railway applications.
The new series is also certified according to UL/cUL 60950-1 and is therefore also suited for applications with higher input voltages in industry, telecommunications, and distributed power supply architectures. Along with a wide 4:1 input voltage range, RECOM dc-dc converters deliver 40W of regulated output power from single or dual outputs and come with an output trim function.
These converters include on/off remote control with positive or negative logic. The series is available with rated dc inputs of 24V or 48V with 1.6kVdc insulation or 110V with 3kVdc insulation. Due to efficiency up to 92%, a high power density is possible – 40W is available in 2x1 inches (50.8x25.4x10.2 mm without a heat sink or 56.8x25.4x16.8 mm with a heat sink).
The converters in this series are equipped with short-circuit, overvoltage, overload, and over-temperature protection and have an extended operating temperature range of -40 to 105 degrees C. RECOM provides a three-year guarantee on the RP40-FR series.
