Compact dc/dc converter saves space in mobile equipment and industrial electronics

January 29, 2019 By Lee Teschler

The THN 15N series of 15-W dc/dc converters come in a standard 1×1-in package and utilize the latest advances in power technology design to meet EMI Level A standards without external components and reduced no-load power consumption of 96-336 mW and efficiencies up to 91%.

These compact, high-performance 15-W dc/dc converters are candidates for addressing power tracoconversion requirements in mobile equipment, instrumentation, distributed power architectures and industrial electronics applications, particularly when space is limited in PCB designs.

The THN 15N features a wide 2:1 input range of 9-18/18-36/36-75 Vin with single and dual outputs ranging from 3.3 to 24 Vdc. High efficiency operation of 86 to 91% enables a full-load operating temperature range of -40° to +70°C (up to 105°C with derating). These high-density dc/dc converters provide input to output isolation of 1,600 Vdc and feature remote on/off control and a voltage trim function inside a six-sided shielded metal case with an insulated base plate.

All models are safety approved to IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 and are qualified to meet EN 55032 Class A conducted emissions limits and can meet Class B limits with the addition of external components. Reliability is measured at >1.6 million hours per MIL-HDBK-2175 and backed by TRACO Power’s 3-year warranty.

Products are in stock and available through the TRACO Power global distribution network with manufacturing lead times of 12-14 weeks.

Traco Power North America Inc., 2025 Gateway Place #330, San Jose, CA 95110, (408) 916-4570, www.tracopower.us/thn15n for specifications, drawings and safety documentation.
