XPiQ Intros New KHQ050 Series DC/DC Converters
XPiQ Inc. (Holliston, MA), a worldwide manufacturer and supplier of ac/dc and dc/dc power supply products, announced its new KHQ050 Series of quarter-brick, dc/dc converters capable of producing 50A of output current at high efficiencies in a standard quarter-brick footprint. High efficiencies of up to 91% are reached at 3.3V, and 89% at 1.8V. High efficiencies allow the converters to operate at ambient temperatures of up to +85°C with sufficient airflow and derating. Full power is available up to 60°C with 300 LFM of airflow.
The KHQ050 features a high power density of 104W/in³ and conforms to the industry’s standard footprint measuring only 2.28in x 1.45in x 0.43in. Designed for applications requiring low-voltage, high-current and fast transient-response times, the KHQ050 Series offers low-voltage outputs down to 1.2V with 50A of output current. The series accepts a wide range of input voltages from 36Vdc to 75Vdc, and offers a selection of output voltages that includes 1.2V, 1.5V, 1.8V, 2.5V, 3.3V and 5V models. Two versions are available with the KHQ050, a standard open-frame and an optional base-plate version. All models meet international safety agency approvals and carry the CE Mark.
Standard features for the KHQ050 Series include remote sensing; remote on/off; ±10% output adjustment; low ripple and noise; no minimum load requirements; and over-current, over-voltage and over-temperature protection. The KHQ050 Series is priced as low as $75 for 1,000 pieces. The series is available now in small quantities with production volume available in eight weeks ARO.
