Powerbox Introduces Three New Series 40W to 100W Panel DC/DC Converters

Powerbox is one of the largest power companies in Europe and has been a leader in optimizing power solutions for demanding applications for more than 40 years. It has announced three new series of ultra-wide input voltage ranges for 40W in the rail, transportation and defense industries. 100W panel type DC/DC converter. The PQAE40U (40W), PQAE60U (60W), and PQAE100U (100W) feature an ultra-wide input voltage range (14V to 160V and 9V to 75V), giving system designers a single part number for a variety of applications (such as railroads) , industrial automation, automotive, remote wireless remote control) to provide power, reduce inventory, time to market and documentation.

The PQAE40-60-100U series is suitable for use in harsh environments and meets the thermal shock and vibration requirements of EN61373 and MIL-STD-810F, all of which comply with EN45545-2 fire and smoke resistance standards. The POAE40-60-100U Series operates over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range and is matched to the demanding and rugged requirements of engineering vehicles, mining equipment and heavy machinery process control.

Demanding industrial and railway power designers are always faced with the challenge of optimizing board power solutions when designing standardized equipment for a wide range of system bus voltages worldwide. In the rail industry, designers are always looking for the best power architecture to operate over the EN50155's entire standard input voltage range (from 24V to 110V) (including continuous operation at 14.4V outage and 154V transient) .

The PQAE40U (40W), PQAE60U (60W) and PQAE100U (100W) series are developed to provide a complete and stable power supply with an input voltage ranging from 14V to 160V, ensuring maximum flexibility in board power supply design. For lower bus voltages, the 9V to 75V version covers the main battery voltage, maintains the peak voltage, and operates continuously to 75V.

The PQAE40-60-100U series is available in an industry standard quarter brick package with seven output voltages of 5V, 12V, 15V, 24V, 28, 48V and 53V. Considering the widest 12:1 input range, their efficiency is as high as 90%.

All models in the PQAE40-60-100U series are fully protected, including overvoltage, short circuit, current limit, and thermal shutdown. All devices operate at a fixed switching frequency, including a PI-type input filter. The substrate operates over a temperature range of -40 ° C to +105 ° C and a storage temperature of -55 ° C to +125 ° C.

The PQAE40-60-100U series is designed for use in harsh environments and meets the thermal shock and vibration requirements specified in EN61373 and MIL-STD-810F. All products comply with IEC/UL/EN-60950, EN62368-1 and railway standards EN50155 and EN45545-2.

PQAE40U (40W), PQAE60U (60W) and PQAE100U (100W) use industry standard quarter bricks (36.8x57.9x12.7mm~1.45x2.28x0.50 inches). The product is packaged in a plastic case with an aluminum substrate and filled with UL94-V0 silicon compound. Four optional radiators of different heights and airflow directions are available upon request.

The basic insulation of the input and output of the 9 to 75 VDC module is 2250 VDC, and the input and output reinforced insulation of the 14 to 160 VDC module is 3000 VAC.

PQAE40U, PQAE60U and PQAE100U are all certified by RoHS.

The PQAE40U (40W), PQAE60U (60W) and PQAE100U (100W) feature an ultra-wide input voltage range (14V to 160V and 9V to 75V), giving system designers a single part number to power a wide range of applications. , reduce inventory, time to market and documentation.
