XP Power Releases 15 and 30W Ultra Compact DC-DC Converter Range

XP Power announced additions to its range of ultra compact low power dc-dc converters. The 15W JCM15 comes in a tiny 1 x 1" metal package, with the 30W JCK30 being available in a metal case that measures just 2 x 1".

These encapsulated PCB mounted converters accommodate a wide 2:1 input voltage range, accepting either 9 - 18, 18 - 36 or 36 - 75Vdc, covering the nominal inputs of +12, +24 or +48Vdc. Single output models provide +3.3, +5, +12 or +15Vdc, while the duals offer ±5, ±12 or ±15Vdc. All outputs are fully regulated to within ± 0.5% over all input and load conditions for the single output models and less than ± 1.0% for the dual outputs.

The JCK30 can operate at full output power from -40 to +50°C, and the JCM15 up to +65°C, without derating. With a maximum case temperature of + 105°C, no additional heat sinking or forced airflow is required making the converters suitable for most operating environments.

The convertors feature an input to output and input/output to case isolation of 1,600Vdc for up to 1 minute. Both models feature a remote on/off control line. This can be used to control the output rails or to sequence start-up procedures. All units feature overvoltage and continuous short circuit protection.

Prices range from $34.32 for OEM quantities of single output JCM15 models, to $51.48 for JCK30 dual output models.
