Power safety solutions in medical devices
One of the key safety concerns with respect to medical devices is, that the patient is often electrically connected to the medical device. Since a medical device must be absolutely safe for both, the patient and the operator, all electronics including components must meet strict requirements according to IEC/EN 60601-1.

These products are well suited for non-stationary requirements where connection to ground is not possible.
Ultra-compact 12W DC/DC converters for industrial
The TEL 12 & TEL 12WI are two series of isolated 12W DC/DC converters which come in an ultra compact DIP-16 metal package. The design purpose of these series was to miniaturised low power DC/DC converters to the maximum without sacrificing high efficiency.
12W DC/DC converters with twice the power density
The TEL 12 & TEL 12WI are isolated 12W DC/DC converters which come in the ultra-compact DIP-16 metal package measuring only 0.94 x 0.54 x 0.40”, reportedly doubling the power density compared to most 12W converters in DIP-24 package. These converters are an economical solution for space-critical and cost-sensitive applications in instrumentation, IT and industrial electronics.
DC/DC converter and AC/DC power supplies launched
Last year, Traco Power has launched more than 40 new series of DC/DC converters and AC/DC power supplies - despite of the COVID-19 pandemic. Traco Power’s product range focuses on the four vertical markets, listed below.
TMR 4 Series DC/DC converter for industrial applications
The TMR 4 and TMR 4WI are a set of regulated four watt DC/DC converters with either 2:1 (TMR 4) or 4:1 (TMR 4WI) input voltage range. They come in a compact SIP-8 package featuring single and dual output models, I/O isolation voltage of 1600 VDC and protection against short-circuit and over load.
TPI series open frame AC/DC power supplies
The TPI series of TPI 30, TPI 65 and TPI 125 are three AC/DC open frame power supplies series between 30 and 125 Watt with a 3000 VAC reinforced isolation system. The TPI line specifically focuses on providing cost efficient industrial power supplies in compact designs. Extending the existing TPI range, the new series offer a peak power function which enables them to deliver up to 130% of the rated power for up to ten seconds.
TPI 125 series 125W AC/DC power supply
TRACO POWER’s new 125W TPI 125 series of 2x3” footprint open frame AC/DC power supplies are cost-optimised for price sensitive industrial, automation and IoT applications.
