This rugged, industrial quality DC-DC converter uses field-proven topology to generate the required output power. It is a mature design with a track record in numerous applications. Cooling is by conduction via baseplate. Additional cooling is achieved by natural convection through the cooling slots. All heat generating components are installed on aluminum heatsink blocks which are thermally connected to the base plate. This also provides exceptional mechanical ruggedness. Conformal coating provides protection against humidity and airborne contaminants. An optional built-in redundancy diode allows for parallel and N+1 operation. Full electronic protection, low component count, large design headroom, and the use of components with established reliability result in a high MTBF. The series is manufactured at our plant under strict quality control.
