DC-DC Converters offer 93% efficiency and 2:1 input range.

Press Release Summary:




Series AM20E-Z 20 W converters offer inputs of 9-18, 18-36, and 35-72 Vdc and ±0.5% balanced and 1,500 Vdc isolated single and dual output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12, 15, and ±12 V and ±15 Vdc. With short circuit and overvoltage/overcurrent protection, 2 x 1 in. units offer isolated outputs, eliminating output interaction problems while allowing reverse polarity of output with reference to input. They feature temperature range of 40°C to +70°C and to +85°C with derating.



Original Press Release:



New 20 Watt 2 x 1 in. DC-DC Converter with High Efficiency (up to 93%) and Wide (2:1) Input Ranges



Aimtec, a global supplier of DC-DC power converters, adds the AM20E-Z to its DC-DC product offering.

The wide, 2:1 input range of 9~18 VDC and 18~36 VDC and 36-72 VDC makes the AM20E-Z series of 2"x1" converters suitable for an assortment of applications, including data communication equipment, distributed power systems, telecommunication equipment, mixed analog/digital subsystems, process/industrial control equipment, computer peripheral systems and industrial robotic systems.

Adjustable, tightly regulated, balanced (±0.5%) and isolated (1600VDC) single and dual output voltages of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, ±12V and ±15VDC feature short circuit, over voltage and over current protection. The isolated outputs of the AM20E-Z series eliminates output interaction problems, while allowing reverse polarity of the output with reference to the input.

Other useful features of the AM20E-Z series include output trim function (±10%) and remote ON/OFF control, for applications where power conservation is required and / or there is a need for the power supplies to switch ON and OFF in a specific sequence, within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and to +85°C with derating.

The AM20E-Z series complies with the 60950-1 safety standard, as well as EMC standards EN55022 for emissions and EN61000 for immunity.

Each of the 18 models offered in the AM20E-Z series use high quality, 100% RoHS compliant materials that undergo rigorous quality control to ensure the reliability and performance of each model. Samples are available from stock and can be ordered immediately. Datasheets are available online at www.aimtec.com
