Rugged power converters packaged as encapsulated modules introduced by Pico Electronics

PELHAM, N.Y., 3 April 2014. Pico Electronics Inc. in Pelham, N.Y., is introducing the rugged DC-1 series of power converters, which come in encapsulated modules for a ruggedized applications.

The power electronics devices are designed to combine high input voltage capabilities of 120 to 370 volts DC and high power ratings of to 300 Watts with regulated output voltages from 5 volts DC to 300 volts DC standard.

Pico’s DC-1 high input voltage series of modules, in one brick package, enables users to input a DC voltage range of 120 to 370 volts DC and provide isolated output voltages from 5 volts DC to 300 volts DC, and output power to 300 Watts.

Sixteen models will provide an isolated, regulated DC output voltage at a fixed 100 kHz operating frequency.

Standard features include: over current protection, reverse polarity protection; over temperature shutdown; and built-in sense pins on modules with 48 volts DC output and less.

Pico also offers custom modules for expanded operating temperature and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) applications. For more information contact Pico online at www.picoelectronics.com.
