Cosel’s High-Reliability 80W DC-DC Converter Comes with 10-Year Warranty

September 03, 2019 by Cosel

Cosel Co, Ltd. recently announced the release of a very high-reliability 80W DC/DC converter, the MGF80.

Cosel Co, Ltd. today announced the release of a very high-reliability 80W DC/DC converter, the MGF80. Packaged in an industry-standard 2x1 inch, six-sided, shielded metallic case, the MGF80 series has been designed to Cosel’s strict criteria for high performance and reliability, contributing to the company’s world-class quality with a failure rate of below 30 parts-per-million (ppm). All components are selected for a very long lifetime, making the MGF80 one of the most reliable DC/DC converters in its category. Accordingly, Cosel backs up the MGF80 series with a long warranty period of 10 years. To guarantee lifetime quality, the MGF80 does not include aluminum or tantalum capacitors.

Addressing a large range of demanding applications, the MGF80 series is available in two input voltages, 9V to 36V and 18V to 76V. A single output version, the MGFS80 is available in four output voltages, 3.3, 5, 12, and 15V, and can be adjusted within a range of +/- 10% using a resistor bridge or potentiometer. A dual-output version, the MGFW80 is available in two, factory trimmed output voltages, +/- 12V and +/- 15V, offering the possibility to provide respectively, 24V and 30V between the two ends.

Thanks to synchronous rectification and soft-switching technology, the MGF80 series’ efficiency is a high 94% typical. All models deliver an available power level of up to 81.6W, but to maintain high performance the output power of the 3.3V MGFS80243R3 is limited to 59.4W.

Designed to power demanding applications, the MGF80 series features a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C with a maximum case temperature of +110 degrees C. The MGF80 includes overcurrent and overvoltage protection, and to protect against overheating it includes thermal protection that switches the unit off when the maximum allowable safe temperature is reached.

Built with robustness in mind, the rugged MGF80 series has been tested to sustain rough conditions and has passed three-axis vibration testing equivalent to 10G and shock testing of 50G.

Housed in a six-sided, brass, nickel-plated housing measuring an industry-standard 50.8 x 25.4 x 9.9 mm (2 x 1 x 0.39 inch), the unit uses lead-free plated copper pins. Weight is just 50 grams.

The MGF80 series has an input-output isolation of 1500VDC, and an input and output to case isolation of 1000VDC. It is UL62368-1, C-UL [CSA62368-1) and EN62368-1 approved and CE mark 2014/35/EU. The MGFS80 and MGFW80 are RoHS compliant.

Combining high reliability, low conducted and radiated emission levels, high power performance levels and a wide range of products able to power from 9V up to 76V, the MGF80 series is the ideal power solution for industrial, IoT, mobile equipment and especially in demanding applications.

For lower power requirements in demanding applications, COSEL offers the 1x1 inch, high power density, 40W MGF40, as well as a wide range of high reliability, single-in-line, DC/DC converters.
 

About Cosel

Founded as ELCO Co., Ltd., whose main business is the use of electronics to control devices. The company name changed from ELCO Co., Ltd. to COSEL Co., Ltd. in April 1992. 

A range of electronic components, including semiconductors, are used within electronic products such as industrial and consumer equipment. Semiconductor devices such as IC, FET, transistors, diodes, etc. operate based on a stable DC power supply. In other words, it is vital to convert the AC current supplied to plants and households into a stabilized DC current. COSEL’s DC-stabilized power units help to realize this.

In particular, COSEL's "switching power supply," which utilizes the high-speed switching effect of semiconductors, is one of our major products. Switching power supplies are compact, lightweight and highly efficient, which means that they are now used in almost all electronic devices, including in information communications, medical and factory automation devices. We have been engaged, furthermore, since 2005, in the production of a noise filter that protects electronic equipment from a range of noise, and have now released a product using that technology.

Nowadays almost all the products that are available in society and used in our daily lives utilize electronic technology, and as such, the DC-stabilized power unit holds the key to the future. At COSEL, we are engaged in endless discussions with new technology, in order to build high levels of reliability into future products.
