Astec Industrial DC-DC Converters Feature 4:1 Inputs

Emerson Network Power, a business of Emerson, has announced the introduction of the Astec industrial series dc converters. Designed for wide input voltage applications, the new ASA Series models can deliver 6 and 10 Watts while the AEE single-output series supplies 15 Watts from input voltage range of 9 to 36Vdc and 18 to 75Vdc or 18 to 36Vdc and 36 to 75Vdc for the ASA 10W models.

With a selection of single and dual output voltages from 3.3 to 15Vdc, these devices feature small, encapsulated DIP packages (1.25" X 0.8" for ASA models and 1" X 2" for the AEE models). This makes them an ideal solution for a variety of uses where space is at a premium such as automotive, burn-in, IC fabrication equipment, test instrumentation and wireless/wireline applications.

All models meet 1500Vdc input-to-output isolation requirements and have a demonstrated mean time between failures (MTBF) of 1 million hours. In addition to accepting a wide input voltage range, the units also operate over an extremely wide temperature range from -40° C to 71° C on 6W and15W models or -40° C to 60° C on the 10W devices. All models offer over-current and short circuit protection with automatic restart.

With prices starting at $10.34 for the ASA 6W, $16.47 for the ASA 10W and $19.10 for the AEE 15W in OEM quantities, these units are available now. All models carry the CE Mark and are designed for ROHS compliance.
