DC-DC converters for railways

13 July 2016 Power Electronics / Power Management

ConTech announced the RQT series of railway DC-DC converters, offering 20 Watts of fully regulated output power with nominal railway input voltages of 24 V (9 – 36 V), 48 V (18 – 75 V) and 110 V (40 – 160 V). Single outputs offered are 5, 12, 15 and 24 V.

The converters come in an industry standard 2,54 x 5,08 cm package which can be ordered with an optional heatsink. They operate with efficiencies as high as 87% and include features like remote on/off, output trim, over-temperature, overload and short circuit protection. Featuring an operating case temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, the unit is encapsulated with a thermally conductive potting compound and uses a metal case for improved thermal performance.

The RQT series meets railway standards EN50155, as well as EMC standard EN50121-3-2. It also meets UL 60950-1 and is RoHS compliant.
