12:1-input quarter-brick dc/dc converters key on railway apps

November 13, 2018 By Lee Teschler

Two 40-W and 60-W dc/dc converter series come in quarter-brick packages with an ultra-wide input voltage range of 14 to 160 Vdc making them a good candidate for railway rolling stock applications and high voltage battery systems.

The 12:1 input voltage range of RECOM’s RP40Q-RUW and RP60Q-RUW series covers all csm_RP40Q_RP60Qinput voltages from nominal 24 Vdc up to 110 Vdc in a single product (including EN50155 transients). These quarter-brick dc/dc converters are designed for railway rolling stock and high-voltage battery applications and offer basic isolation with regulated 5 V, 12 V, 15 V, 24 V or 48 Vdc outputs, including sense and trim pins. They have a consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range and an operating temperature range from -40 up to +85°C (+68°C for the RP60Q-RUW) at full load without forced air cooling. An optional heat sink allows these converters to provide full load up to +90°C and +77°C respectively.

The case is fitted with threaded inserts for secure mounting in high shock and vibration environments. The converters are CE marked, EN50155 and EN45545-2 certified and come with a three-year warranty. Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorized distributors or directly from RECOM.
