Low-Cost 6-Watt DC-DC Converters in DIP-24 Package

XP Power plc announced the JCE06 and JTE06 series of low cost compact 6W dc-dc converters aimed at a broad range of mobile communications, industrial and transportation applications. Constructed in a plastic industry-standard 24-pin DIP through hole mounting package, and measuring 1.25 x 0.80 x 0.40 inches (31.75 x 20.32 x 10.40 mm), the single- and dual-output units achieve a power density of 15 Watts per cubic inch and an efficiency of up to 84%. Single output models are available with +3.3, +5, +12, +15 or +24 Vdc outputs. Duals provide ±3.3, ±5, ±12, ±15 or ±24 Vdc outputs. The JCE06 accommodates a wide 2:1 input range and the JTE06 series a 4:1 input range. All models cover the popular nominal input voltages of +12, +24 or +48 Vdc.

Input to output isolation is 1,500 Vdc across the range. An optional 3,000 Vdc isolation model is available to order quoting suffix –H. A metal case option is also available by adding –M suffix to the part code at the time of order. The converters suit a wide range of operating environments in temperatures from -40 to + 100 degrees C. No additional forced airflow or heatsinking is required, saving valuable board space and extra cost.

An under voltage input protection feature shuts down the converter below a set voltage in order to prevent damage to the converter. All models within both ranges meet EN55022 class A conducted EMC emissions without the need for any additional components. Prices range from $13.85 for a 500 pcs order of a single output JCE06 series and $14.00 for a 500 pcs order of the JTE06 series.
