DC-DC Converters include built-in EMC filtering.

Press Release Summary:



Available for COTS, avionics, and high-end industrial applications, PowerlinePlus Series ranges from 20-50 W and incorporates ICE Technology, which minimizes internal heat dissipation and maximizes heat transfer to ambient. Units feature case temperature operating range of -45 to +120°C and guaranteed start-up at -45°C ambient. Housed in 6-sided shielded enclosure, converters offer fully protected outputs and galvanic isolation up to 3 kVdc.

The New PowerlinePlus Redefines High Efficiency Performance



Isolated DC-DC Power Converters with built-in EMC filtering available for COTS, avionics, and high end industrial applications.

BROOKLYN, NEW YORK - May 28, 2009 - RECOM, the innovative leader in providing low power conversion products, created an industry first by introducing a completely new 20W to 50W power range DC/DC converter series today. The PowerlinePlus Series are the first modules to incorporate RECOM's innovative ICE Technology - Innovation in Converter Excellence- a combination of techniques to minimize internal heat dissipation and maximize the heat transfer to ambient to create a new converter series which offers high end performance at a price which is significantly lower than conventional specialist converters.

PowerlinePlus converters are one of the most efficient DC-DC power solution modules available and satisfy the unique requirements of many military, avionics, and high-end industrial applications with a case temperature operating range of -45°C to +120°C, built-in Class B EMC filters and fully protected outputs. PowerlinePlus converters combine a high efficiency design with a revolutionary integrated heat sink case with to deliver more power over a wider temperature range while requiring less space and cost than equivalent solutions previously offered for these demanding applications.

Main Features:

o Case Temperature Operating Range of -45°C to +120°C

o Ambient Temperature Range Up to +100°C (Natural Convection)

o Guaranteed Start-up at -45°C Ambient

o Built-in FCC/ EN55022 Class B EMC Filter (no external components required)

o Think Green: High Efficiency and Low Stand-by Current

o Six-Sided Shielded Enclosure with Integrated Heat Sink

o Compact, Low Weight Case

o High Galvanic Isolation of up to 3KVDC

o Fully Protected Outputs

o Industry Standard Pin-outs

o Substantially Lower Cost compared with Equivalent Specialist Converters

The PowerlinePlus Converter Series consists of six new module offerings:

RPP20-S_D.

This series provides 20 watts of power with 2:1 input voltage range, single or dual output options, 2kVDC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 90% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +100°C without derating in a case size of only 2" x 1.2".

RPP20-S_DW

Similar to the RPP20-S_D, this converter series offers an extra-wide 4:1 input voltage range.

RPP30-S_D

This converter provides 30 watts of power with 2:1 input voltage range, single or dual output options, 3kVDC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 92% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +96°C without derating in a case size of only 2" x 1.2".

RPP30-S_DW

Similar to the RPP30, this converter series offers an extra-wide 4:1 input voltage range.

RPP40-S

This converter provides 40 watts of power with 2:1 input, single output, 3kVDC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 92% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +89°C without derating in a compact case size of only 2" x 1.2".

RPP50-S

This converter provides 50 watts of power with 2:1 input, single output, 3kVDC isolation, built-in EMC filter and operates at efficiencies of up to 91% to offer an ambient operating temperature range from -45°C up to +81°C without derating in a compact case size of only 2" x 1.2".
