PowerPax UK 10W Regulated DC-DC Converter, 9-18VDC Input, 12VDC Output

The PowerPax UK 10W Regulated DC-DC Converter is engineered for applications demanding a wide-range input voltage coupled with a stable, isolated output. This robust DIP (Dual In-line Package) module accepts an input from 9 to 18 VDC (with a nominal 12VDC) and provides a precisely regulated 12VDC output at up to 833mA, delivering a reliable 10W of power.

Featuring a wide 2:1 input range, this converter offers exceptional flexibility for systems where the input voltage may fluctuate. Its high efficiency of up to 86% minimises power loss and heat generation, so no external heat sink is required for operation. The unit is housed in a compact, metal-shielded package that provides effective EMI shielding and robust physical protection.

Key Features & Safety

A critical aspect of this converter is its 1.5kVDC input/output isolation, which protects sensitive downstream components from voltage spikes or faults on the input side. It also incorporates automatic short-circuit protection with self-recovery, enhancing system reliability and preventing damage from accidental overloads. Built to industry-standard pinouts, it ensures easy integration into existing designs and prototypes.

Reliability & Compliance

Designed for long-term reliability, this DC-DC converter boasts a calculated MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of 1,000,000 hours. It is fully compliant with RoHS regulations, ensuring it meets modern environmental standards for hazardous substances. Its compact dimensions make it ideal for space-constrained applications across industrial, telecommunications, and IT equipment (ITE) sectors.
