DIN-rail DC-DC converters

27 October 2010 Power Electronics / Power Management

To satisfy demand for low-power DC-DC converters that can be rapidly mounted onto DIN rails, TDK-Lambda has introduced the DPX series.

Available with both 2:1 and 4:1 input voltage ranges covering 9,5 V to 75 V and 5 power ranges from 15 W and 60 W, the new series provides an economical solution for industrial applications such as process control and factory automation, as well as in alarm and security systems.

DPX models are available in single, dual or triple outputs with voltages ranging from 3,3 V to 15 V. For special applications, selected models can be adjusted manually by using a potentiometer mounted on the front panel. Up to three units can be paralleled for higher power applications and typical efficiency is up to 90%. The converters are enclosed in a rugged metal case and can be mounted on either a TS35/7.5 or TS35/15 standard DIN rail. A green LED indicator on the front panel gives an immediate visual confirmation of the output status. The units feature input reverse polarity protection and have 1,6 kV input to output isolation.

Convection cooled, the DPX series operates over a wide temperature range of


-40°C to +85°C. The series also meets EN55022 class B EMI standards (radiated and conducted) and is CE marked according to the LV directive.
