40-W 32nd brick targets telecom

The CPZ 40W 32nd brick series of dc/dc converters is a pick-and-place-capable surface-mount module that uses solder ball pins which allow it to conform to coplanarity deviations. The converters target space-constrained distributed power and intermediate bus converter applications including networking and telecommunications, data processing, railway, military, medical, and aerospace equipment. The modules provide 40 W at 55C and 200-lfm airflow.

The converters are offered in three 2:1 input voltage ranges of 9 to 18, 18 to 36 or 36 to 75 Vdc. Output voltages of 3.3, 5, and 12 Vdc are standard. The product is 0.92 x 0.90 x 0.374-in., using 30% less area than a 16th-brick converter. The typical efficiency exceeds 90% for 5- and 12-V models. The converters provide 2,250-Vdc input-to-output isolation. (Call 888-438-3232 for price and availability.)
