These convection-cooled converters have an efficiency rating of up to 91%, and deliver a power density of 37.5 Watts per cubic inch from their compact package that measures 25.4 x 50.8 x 10.16 mm (1 x 2 x 0.4 inches). When convection cooled the operating temperature range is from – 40 degrees C to + 75 degrees C. An optional heatsink extends this up to + 80 degrees C. Maximum case temperature is + 105 degrees C. 1500 VAC Basic isolation between input and output, and 1600 VDC between input/output and the metal case is provided across the range.
The RDC30 series complies with the internationally recognized EMC standard EN50121-3-2 as required for railway applications and rolling stock apparatus.
A remote On/Off function gives external control of the output while a trim input provides the capability to adjust the output voltage +/- 10% of the nominal output voltage.
In addition to the 30 Watt RDC30 series, XP Power’s DC-DC converter line-up for railway applications includes the RDQ100/150 series of 100 Watt and 150 Watt base plate cooled converters.
The RDC30 is available from Farnell, element14, approved regional distributors, or direct from XP Power and come with a 3 year warranty.
