Extra-wide input quarter-brick dc-dc converters shorten time to market

POWERBOX Three series of extra-wide input voltage range, 40W to 100W board-mounted dc-dc converters for the railway, transportation and defense industries. With an extra wide input voltage range of 14V to 160V and 9V to 75V, the PQAE40U (40W), PQAE60U (60W) and PQAE100U (100W) have been developed to provide systems designers with a single part number that is able to power a large range of applications (e.g. railway, industrial automation and automotive, remote radio-control), thus reducing inventory, time to market and documentation. Designed for use in harsh environments, the PQAE40/60/100U series meet thermal shock and vibration requirements as specified in EN61373 and MIL-STD-810F, and also meet the fire and smoke EN45545-2 standard.
