Electronics Power Supply / Management dc-dc managementconverter powerPHOENIX CONTACT 4th Gen QUINT dc-dc converters feature conformal coating for protection in harsh environments. Units have been approved for use in ATEX, IECEx and Class I Division 2 locations, so they can be used in hazardous locations around the globe. The conformal coating protects against dust and conductive debris, corrosive gases and humidity, and it prevents failures due to creepage currents and electromechanical corrosion. It also reduces the risk of failure due to vibration and thermal shock.
