The DC-DC Boost Converter provides a wide input range of 8–16 V DC and operates at 90% efficiency, conserving resources for remote locations. Optimized for convection cooling, the device’s design features a prominent heat sink to help maintain proper control panel temperatures. Additional safety and convenience features include: a Power-On LED and fused output short circuit protection.
To ensure dependability, the DC-DC Boost Converter employs robust, lever-operated WAGO 256 Series PCB Terminal blocks. These simple, tool-free terminations are vibration-proof and immune to temperature cycling — two causes of connection failures within remote and mobile I/O applications. Further validating reliability, the DC-DC Converter was subjected to rigorous internal testing, including 48 days’ of continuous operation at +71°C.
Manufactured at WAGO’s Germantown, WI headquarters, the DC-DC Converter can be customized to suit requests (volume-dependent).
