Rugged isolated DC-DC power modules target growing demand

Designed to deliver 15W of isolated output power from ±5V, ±12V and ±15V outputs, Murata Power Solutions has introduced the BPM15 Series of isolated DC-DC power modules. The series provides an attractive balance between electrical performance, rugged mechanical design and cost, while providing flexibility for power system engineers, says the company. The BPM15 Series address a growing demand for isolated DC-DC modules that accept 4:1 input ranges of 9-36V & 18-75V. These models have an isolation barrier that will withstand 1600VDC with a basic insulation system. The series also incorporates the latest PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology with SMT and automated assembly components. The BPM15 is specified to operate over the temperature range of -40C to +85C providing the ideal modular power solution for extended environment and high-reliability industrial applications with little or no airflow. The units are ruggedized and encapsulated in 1 x 1 x 0.4 inches high, five-sided, shielded metal package designed to optimise thermal and mechanical performance and reliability. The BPM15 are certified to UL-60950-1, CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1, IEC/60950-1, 2nd edition. Typical applications are harsh environments such as industrial, smart grid, data storage, networking, computing / server and telecommunications.
