Absopulse Announces DC-DC Converter With 5 Individually Fused Output Terminals

May 05, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

Absopulse Electronics has released the BAP 65-5FD-24/12FT series, a 300W, single-output dc-dc converter. This unit utilizes field-proven topology to provide 12Vdc at 25A, which is distributed via five individually fused output terminals. This feature ensures that failure on one load will not affect the entire system. Fuses are located externally below the terminal block and are easily accessible. The BAP 65-5FD-24/12FT can be operated from a 24Vdc supply voltage, with a 21 to 30Vdc operating range. Other input and output configurations are available on request.

Designed for operation in mobile and other rugged environments, the unit is heavily ruggedized and conformal coated and is designed to meet IEC 61373 Categories 1 A & B shock and vibration standards. It also meets EN 55022 Class B EMI. This converter is rated for operation over a -25 to +50°C temperature range without derating, and is cooled by conduction via the baseplate to a heatsinking surface and by natural convection.

BAP 65-5FD-24/12FT features full electronic protection on the input and output. This chassis-mount design is optimized for low component count and high efficiency. Versions to meet EN 50155 railway specifications and customized designs are also available.

The BAP 65-5FD-24/12FT is priced at US$285 at quantities of 100.
