DC to DC Power Supplies (Converters)
Miniature DC/DC Converters maintain DIP-24 pin-out.
Press Release Summary:
Supplied in 1 x 0.8 x 0.4 in. shielded metal package, JCA series board-mounted, low-power DC/DC converters come in 2, 3, 4, and 6 W models that each offer choice of 5, 12, 24, and 48 Vdc nominal input voltages. Input options, covering 2:1 voltage range, are 4.5-9.0, 9-18, 18-36 Vdc, or 36-75 Vdc with under-voltage lockout as standard. For each input voltage, single output models offer +3.3, +5, +12, or +15 Vdc outputs; dual output versions provide ±5, ±12, or ±15 Vdc.
Original Press Release:
Ultra Compact DC/DC Converters Achieve 20% Footprint Reduction and Maintain Industry Standard DIP-24 Pin-Out
XP Power announces its JCA series of miniature, board-mounted low power DC/DC converters. Measuring just 1 x 0.8 x 0.4 inches (25.4 x 20.3 x 10.0 mm), the device's shielded metal package is 0.25 inches (6.4 mm) shorter than the 1.25 inch (31.8 mm) industry norm. Using the customary 24-pin DIP layout, the units occupy 20% less printed circuit board area than traditional products. This allows designers to reduce the size of new developments or add in more features, while maintaining the industry standard pin-out makes the converter an ideal drop-in replacement for existing designs.
The JCA series comprises 2, 3, 4 and 6 Watt models, each offering a choice of 4 nominal input voltages of 5, 12, 24 and 48 VDC. Input options, covering a wide 2:1 voltage range, are 4.5 - 9.0 VDC, 9 - 18 VDC, 18 - 36 VDC or 36 - 75 VDC with under-voltage lockout as standard. For each input voltage, single output models offer +3.3, +5, +12 or +15 VDC outputs or the dual output versions provide +/- 5, +/- 12 or +/15 VDC. Outputs are fully regulated, varying no more than +/- 0.3% over all input conditions, and less than +/- 1.0% across all load conditions. The JCA series offer basic input to output isolation rated at 1,500 VDC and case to input or output is 500 VDC.
Suitable for a wide variety of application environments, the converters operate from -40 degrees to +100 degrees C with derating above +75 degrees C. No additional heat sinking or forced air cooling is required. The maximum case temperature is +100 degrees C.
The series has EN, UL, CSA and CE safety approvals and meets EN55022-A for conducted emissions and EN55022-B for radiated emissions without any additional components.
The units carry a 3 year warranty and are available from stock and also through Newark.
Prices range from $11.21 for OEM quantities of the 2 watt, JCA02 model to $21.06 for OEM quantities of the 6 watt, dual output JCA06 model.
