The device is optimised for DC/DC power converters, on-board chargers for electric vehicles, UPS, power control cooling units, and solar inverters. In these applications, the PLA51’s high typical efficiency of > 99 % typical reduces losses, while its low profile of 22mm saves space in subassemblies. In addition, the transformer’s reduced weight of 170g is a key parameter for power supplies in avionics applications.
Providing excellent repeatability, the PLA51 features a frequency range of 50 to 400kHz and operates over a temperature range from -55 to +125 °C with heatsink dissipation. Offered in full-bridge, half-bridge, and forward power supply topologies, the transformer features tapped outputs for fast and easy connection. This RoHS-compliant device is also available in custom designs upon request.
