All QW030xx Series modules offer a typical efficiency of 88 percent at full load and operate over an input-voltage range of 36Vdc to 75Vdc (48V nominal).

The industry-standard quarter-brick QW030xx Series modules measure 1.45in x 2.3in x 0.5in (36.8mm x 59.7mm x 12.7mm) and offer a metal case for optimum thermal performance. Threaded holes are provided to allow easy mounting to a cold wall or the addition of a heatsink for high-temperature applications. Built-in safety features include over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage protection as well as remote on/off.

The QW030xx Series modules are available now, priced at $57 in 1,000-unit quantities, and $48 in 5,000-unit quantities.
