RECOM has extended its DC-DC railway converters RPA100H and RPA200H to now include 15 V and 48 V output versions, making these 10:1 input voltage range converters suitable for a wider range of applications in railway and electromobility.
Due to the wide range of input voltages in railway systems, typically three different versions of the same design are necessary to cover all of the input voltages from 24 V d.c. up to 110 V d.c. The RPA100H-RUW and RPA200H-RUW allow an all-in-one solution as their 10:1 input voltage range accommodates all standard input voltages of 24 V, 36 V, 48 V, 72 V, 96 V and 110 V d.c. in a single product, including all of the EN50155 transient limits.
These converters are now available with 12 V, 15 V, 24 V or 48 V outputs to power a broader selection of rolling stock and high-voltage battery applications. The converters have a consistently high efficiency over the entire input voltage range and operate over a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +93.5°C (when baseplate cooled). The case is fitted with threaded inserts to allow secure mounting to the PCB or bulkhead for use in high shock and vibration environments. They are certified to CE and UL/IEC/EN 60950 and come with a three year warranty.
