DC/DC converters by TDK-LAMBDA

Regardless of the industrial branch, application or even the product type, almost every electronic device uses some sort of a DC/DC converter. They are often used to power the control systems, which usually require lower power supply voltage. The stability of the source voltage is dependent on the quality of the converter, so the quality of the converter directly affects the lifetime of the entire product, its proper functioning and finally, the safety of its users.

The selected solutions in the field of DC/DC converters are presented below. Apart from the high quality and reliability, they share one superior feature – these are products from the TDK-LAMBDA brand.

There is no need to introduce the TDK-LAMBDA – both these companies are well-known, and since 2008 they have been operating within one corporate group. However, it is worth emphasizing that TME is constantly expanding the range of TDK-LAMBDA products offered. These are mainly power supplies, including both industrial and laboratory power supplies, but also converters that are designed and manufactured for use in harsh conditions and demanding applications. Below, we present three groups of these products. If you are interested in learning more, see the full range of TDK-LAMBDA products available in the TME catalogue.

Converters from the DDA series are designed to be mounted on a DIN rail, e.g. in control cabinets of machinery parks or switchgears. They weigh 450g and are relatively small, taking up the width of two standard DIN modules (exactly 36.5mm). They are characterized by high power: 250W at the first output and 75W or 250W at the second output (not all models offer the second output). The nominal output voltage of 12V DC can be set from 3.3V to 15V or 24V DC. The input voltage ranges from 9V to 40V or 53V DC, which makes these converters truly versatile. The device is connected by means of screw terminals. The converters described here feature a number of built-in protections, such as: overcurrent, thermal and overvoltage protection. Moreover, the outputs can be turned off remotely, thus extending the lifetime of the converter. The maximum output current that the device can provide at the 250W output is 20A. It should also be emphasized that the converters are characterized by the efficiency of up to 95% and use the convection cooling, so they can operate at temperature up to 100°C.
