All models carry the CE and UKCA marks for the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives and are certified to the IEC/UL/CSA/EN 62368-1 safety standards.

SAN DIEGO – TDK-Lambda Americas Inc. in San Diego is introducing the CN-B110 series 50-Watt, 100-Watt and 150-Watt rated quarter-brick DC-DC converters for robotics, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), scientific research, and power generation equipment.

Capable of operating from an input voltage of 43 to 160 volts DC, these power supplies also are compatible with 72-volt DC or 110-volt DC nominal railway systems for applications such as rail rolling stock and trackside equipment.

50 to 300 Watts

These additional DC-DC converters are available with 5-, 12-, 15-, 24-m and 48-volt outputs expanding the CN-B110 series from 50 Watts to 300 Watts. Using the trim function, they can be adjusted using a resistor or an external voltage to compensate for voltage drops or to accommodate non-standard system voltages.

To meet demanding high voltage requirements for transients and 5000-meter altitude, the CN-B110 series has sufficient spacing between the primary input and baseplate for a 2500-volt AC isolation voltage.

The input-to-output isolation is 3000 and 500 volts AC between the output and baseplate. With efficiencies to 92 percent, power losses are minimized, allowing the products to operate at baseplate temperatures of -40 to 100 degrees Celsius, with minimal to no derating at high temperatures. Cooling is by optional heat sinks or a cold plate via the module's aluminum baseplate.

All models carry the CE and UKCA marks for the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives and are certified to the IEC/UL/CSA/EN 62368-1 safety standards.

Shock and vibration

In addition, the series meets the rolling stock IEC 61373 Category 1, Class B shock/vibration standards, and is designed to meet EN 45545-2 (Fire protection on railway vehicles) and EN 50155(1) (Electronic equipment in railroad vehicles) in certified systems.
