Isolated 15-Watt DC-DC in 1”x1” Metal Package

January 12, 2019 by Paul Shepard

The THN 15N series from Traco Power is the latest generation of isolated high performance 15-Watt dc-dc converters and comes in an encapsulated, shielded 1” x 1” x 0.4” metal package. The new and improved design allows to fully integrate an EN 55032 class A filter and greatly reduces the no-load power consumption (96- to 336-mW).

Advanced circuit design results in high efficiencies at low output loads: typical 85% efficiency at 20% load and up to 91% during nominal operation. This enables the THN 15N to operate in a temperature range of –40°C to +70°C without derating. All models have a wide 2:1 input voltage range and precisely regulated, isolated output voltages.

Further features include remote On/Off and trim able outputs. Together with the latest IT safety certifications (UL 62368-1) typical applications for these converters are mobile equipment, instrumentation, distributed power architectures in communication and industrial electronics and everywhere where space on PCB is critical.
