15 to 30 Watt DC-DC Converters

20 Watts

4:1 Wide Input Range

RLPB20 Series DC-DC Converters for Railway Applications

RLPB20 Series 20-watt single and dual output regulated DC-DC converters for railway applications feature a 4:1 wide input range, high efficiency up to 91 percent, low standby power, remote ON/OFF control for energy savings and no minimum load requirement. Isolation voltage is 3000V DC, and the units come in a miniature 1.0 by 1.0 by 0.39-inch package to suit low-profile designs. The converters also provide an internal EN50121-3-2 filter, and a six-sided continuous shield minimizes noise leakage.
