15W and 30W ultra compact DC/DC converter range from XP Power

XP Power has introduced 15W and 30W ultra compact low power DC/DC converters.. These PCB mounted converters accommodate a 2:1 input voltage range, accepting either 9 - 18, 18 - 36 or 36 - 75 VDC, covering the nominal inputs of +12, +24 or +48 VDC. Single output models provide +3.3, +5, +12 or +15 VDC, while the duals offer +/-5, +/-12 or +/-15 VDC. All outputs are fully regulated to within +/- 0.5% over all input and load conditions for the single output models and less than +/- 1.0% for the dual outputs.

The JCK30 is can operate at full output power from -40 degrees C to +50 degrees C, and the JCM15 up to +65 degrees C, without derating, with a maximum case temperature of + 105 degrees C. The convertors feature an input to output and input/output to case isolation of 1,600 VDC for up to 1 minute. Both models feature a remote on/off control line. This can be used to control the output rails or to sequence start-up procedures. All units feature overvoltage and continuous short circuit protection.

Package:
The 15 Watt JCM15 comes in a tiny 1" x 1" metal package, with the 30 Watt JCK30 being available in a metal case that measures just 2" x 1"
