Expanded DC-DC converter offering targets railway applications

Peak Electronics has expanded its proven DC-DC converter family in DIP24 packages with the PMRW series (P34TG), which features a 5:1 ultra-wide input. They are available with two input ranges from 13VDC to 70VDC and from 42VDC to 176VDC, and were specially designed for use in railway applications. The DC/DC converters of the PMRW series deliver regulated output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 and 15VDC, and are available both as single and dual output. The power is 8W and the high efficiency ranges up to 86%, depending on the module. The input/output isolation is 3000VDC. A continuous short circuit protection with automatic recovery is included. Furthermore, the devices provide overvoltage and overcurrent protection. All DC/DC modules come in a compact 31.8mm x 20.3mm DIP24 metal case including remote on/off control pin. The operating temperature range is from -40C to +85C. SPS/IPC/Drives, Nuremberg, Hall 3A, Booth 3A-620, November 24 to 26, 2015.
