Aimtec Releases 2W DC-DC Converters


New Products Aug 04, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Aimtec is releasing low power, dc-dc converters for high isolation voltage applications. The new series AM2B-NZ(DIP16) and the new models to the existing series AM2L-NZ(SMD) feature I/O isolation of 6000VDC or the equivalent of 3000VAC isolation for ac applications.

The enhanced safety factor associated with 6000V isolation provides protection against channel-to-channel or cross channel interference, for which wireless applications are particularly susceptible. Transportation systems, industrial controls, medical equipment and instrumentation are among the other systems were high I/O isolation is in important benefit.

Designed for easy integration into a wide selection of applications, the AM2B-NZ and AM2L-NZ series feature nominal input voltages of 5, 12 and 24Vdc, stepping up or down to output voltages of 5, 12, and 15Vdc. These versatile converters also feature continues short circuit protection on the outputs.

Offered in a surface mount package, the AM2L-NZ meets the needs of automated assembly processes, while the DIP16, through-hole package of the AM2B-NZ provides the mechanical support required for higher vibration tolerances.
