IBA Drives Demand for Powerstax 350W DC:DC Converter


June 2006 - Growth in IBA and automotive applications is driving up demand for the F351, industry standard "Full Brick", 350W DC:DC converter from Powerstax plc, the Farnborough UK based manufacturer of application rich power solutions. A derivative of the market leading F501 500W product range, the F351 is a cost effective, high efficiency converter giving system designers added versatility while requiring minimum PCB space.

Designed for 12VDC input applications the F351 offers single isolated outputs of 12VDC and step-up conversion to 24, 28, 42, 48 and 56.2VDC. The modules feature over-voltage, under-voltage and short circuit protection and thermal monitoring for remote system monitoring and control. Other features include low input and output ripple currents, input transient protection, single point connection for parallel operation for true N+1 redundancy, external synch facility, hot plug capability, remote sense and shutdown, thermal protection and current limit. Dimensions are industry standard "full brick" 116.8 x 61 x 12.7mm.

Tim Worley, CEO of Powerstax plc, comments, "We set the standard for power and efficiency when we launched our F501, 500 watt converter. Our 350 watt step-up converter demonstrates our understanding of market trends and our commitment to produce high quality, value for money products to fulfil our customers emerging requirements."

Manufactured and tested in a fully automated facility for reliability, the Powerstax F351 is suitable for applications such as IBA, automotive, transportation and traction and industrial controls.
