TRACO Electronic Debuts TEL2/TES2N Series DC Converters

July 04, 2005 by Jeff Shepard

TRACO Electronic AG (Zurich, Switzerland) debuted its next generation of 2 W dc-dc converters that feature lead-free design to comply with the new European RoHS directive. The TEL2 and TES2N Series modules are fully encapsulated with dimensions of 0.94 in x 0.54 in x 0.30 in (23.80 mm x 13.70 mm x 7.62 mm) in both through-hole (TEL2 Series) and surface-mount (TES2N Series) packages. The ultra-compact dimensions of the converters make them suitable for space-critical applications in both industrial and consumer electronic applications.

The new products feature two-to-one input ranges of 4.5 Vdc to 9 Vdc/9 Vdc to 18 Vdc/18 Vdc to 36 Vdc/36 Vdc to 75 Vdc; single outputs of 3.3 Vdc, 5.0 Vdc, 12 Vdc, and 15 Vdc; dual output models with ±5 Vdc, ±12 Vdc, and ±15 Vdc; 1,500 Vdc isolation; tight output regulation; an input filter to meet EN55022 Class A emissions; a full-load operating temperature range of -25 °C to +71 °C; international safety approvals; and a three-year product warranty. The surface-mount packages (TES2N models) are qualified for a lead-free, reflow solder process with high temperatures up to 245 °C/10 sec.

Units are in full production now with samples available from stock. Pricing for the TEL2 and TES2N Series starts at $9.80 each for 1,000-piece quantities.
