Lambda packs 450 Watts into half a brick

April 16, 2007

ILFRACOMBE, England, 16 April 2007. Lambda in Ilfracombe, England, is introducing a range of PAH450 DC-DC converters that deliver 450 Watts of output power from an industry-standard half-brick package.

In many applications, these units can replace full-brick converters, company officials say. Lambda's PAH450 converters are for telecommunications and other hash-environment communications applications including supplies for power amplifiers in cellular telephone base stations.

Designed for operation from nominal 48-volt inputs, the converters are available with either 28-volt or 48-volt outputs.

PAH450 converters feature

In line with the existing 350-Watt devices in the PAH range, the PAH450 models feature high conversion efficiency, which reduces system heating, and constant switching frequency to simplify filtering.

The output voltage is adjustable over a small range to allow an exact match to the requirements of the application, and remote sensing is supported, along with remote on/off control.

PAH converters comply with the requirements of EN60950-1 and its international equivalents. All models in the range are backed by a two-year warranty. For more information contact Lambda online at www.lambda-gb.com.
