Tyco dc/dc converter delivers full-load efficiency of 90 percent

The HW010 dc/dc converter from Tyco Electronics operates over an input range of 36Vdc to 75Vdc and uses synchronous rectification technology to deliver a typical full-load efficiency of 90 percent (3.3Vdc).

Offered in surface-mount and through-hole configurations, the module is available with output voltages of 5 (6.6A), 3.3 (10A), 2.5 (10A), 1.8 (12A), 1.5 (12A), 1.2 (12A), and 1V (12A).

The converter is pin-compatible with the company's HW005 5A series and features a column-pin connector to allow the module to self-adjust during the reflow process. It also features safety features to protect against abnormal inputs, outputs and temperatures.

The 47.24-by-29.46-by-8.5mm device operates from -400C to 850C and is priced at $39 in 1,000-unit quantities.
