Martek Open Frame DC-DC Converters for Railway Applications Have A Smaller Footprint

Martek Power announced significant additions to its Powertron® family of dc-dc converters. The new dc-dc converters are extensions to Martek’s established and successful JL series of open frame units originally designed for on-board passenger information systems.

The new JLM and JLHM converters are rated at 35 and 50W respectively and offer all of the features and benefits of the standard range, including full EN50155 compliance, but in a much smaller footprint.

Both JLM and JLHM units can accept the wide range of typical railway input voltages and outputs can be specified between 5 and 110Vdc.

The open frame version of both products measures just 115 x 85 x 22mm, which is less than half the overall size of the original range. This makes the power supply well suited for customers wishing to install a converter in their own equipment where space is limited.

For chassis mount applications an enclosed version is also available.
