DC-DCs ideal for mobility applications

RECOM has added to its range of cost-effective, regulated DC-DC converters for mobility applications with models rated at 400W output. The RMOD400-28-13SW offers a wide 16.8V to 56V input range with 13V output, the RMOD400-60-24SW operates from 33.6V to 96V (125V peak) input with 24V output, and the RMOD400-80-13SEW delivers an extra-wide input continuous input range of 33.6V to 125V, with a 13V output.

Intended for onboard power conversion in mobility and industrial vehicles, mounted in unprotected areas, all parts are IP69K-rated for protection against water and dust and are ‘ready to use’ with sealed plug-and-play connections. The range is chassis-mounted with baseplate cooling and achieves high efficiency, maintained down to light loads, in a size of just 115mm x 203mm x 61mm overall, and operates with baseplate cooling to ambient 85C without derating.

Ruggedness of the parts is improved by comprehensive protection, including input reverse polarity, over temperature and output over-current and short circuits. The isolation rating is 2.5kVDC ‘Basic’ grade, and safety certifications are IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1. Parts are qualified to standard EN 60068 for resistance to temperature cycling, shock and endurance, humidity/heat cycling, vibration, mechanical shock and salt spray.

Marco Kuhn, Plug and Play DC-DC product manager of RECOM, comments: “Our RMOD series of DC-DCs are ‘ready to use’ in a wide variety of mobility applications with different nominal battery voltages. Because of their comprehensive qualifications, you can fit them anywhere with confidence in a high-reliability solution”.
