100W DC/DC modules target industrial apps

Powersolve has released the TEP-100 family of 100W isolated high performance DC/DC converter modules packaged in a rugged, compact metal case. Suitable for a wide range of applications, the Tracopower TEP-100 family has been designed primarily for industrial applications where no PCB mounting is possible and the module has to be mounted on a chassis.

Four threaded M3 inserts in the module make chassis mounting or the attachment of a heat sink for optimal thermal management very simple. For easy installation there is also a chassis mount adaptor available with screw terminals for connection.

The TEP-100 series offers 12 models with output voltages from 5Vdc to 48Vdc and wide input voltage ranges of 18Vdc to 36Vdc or 36 to 75Vdc. Models are also available with a wide 4:1 input voltage range and reduced output power of 75W.

In addition, the device's high efficiency allows an ambient operating temperature up to +60°C with natural convection cooling and without the need of power derating. Further features include output voltage trimming, Remote ON/OFF and under voltage lockout. The wide input voltage range and reverse input voltage protection make these DC/DC converters a suitable solution for battery-operated systems.
