200W Rugged, DC/DC Converter Designed for Railway and Other Heavy-Duty Applications
14 February 2005
The RWY200 is a recent addition to Absopulse Electronics’ RWY series of field-proven, rugged, high-density, DC/DC converters. Designed for railway, airborne, military, marine, off-shore and land-based industrial applications, the RWY200 provides a complete 200W power solution in a compact 2.7in x 8.25in x 2.3in enclosure and only weighs 1.3kg. This push-pull converter employs advanced FET technology to deliver 3.3VDC/30A, 5VDC/30A, 12VDC/16A, 13.8VDC/15A and 24VDC/8A. The output is limited to a maximum of 30A. The single input unit accepts inputs of 48VDC (28VDC to 67VDC), 72VDC (43VDC to 101VDC) or 110VDC (65V to 160VDC).
The RWY200 is fully encapsulated within a thermally conductive MIL-spec. silicon rubber compound to ensure immunity to shock, vibration, humidity, moisture, dust and insects. It is conduction cooled via a base plate and performs to full specification at temperatures of between -40°C and +70°C. EMI performance exceeds the requirements of EN55022 Class B and EN50121-3-2, conducted and radiated. The unit also conforms to the requirements of EN50155 (IEC571) for electronic equipment used on railway rolling stock.
