Cincon Introduces 10 W Regulated DC-DC Converter for Railway Applications

Cincon Electronics, a prominent player in power solutions, unveils the EC7AW18-ECRT/EDRT series, a cutting-edge 16:1 ultra-wide input chassis-mount DC-DC converter that delivers a remarkable 10 W of regulated power while maintaining a compact form factor measuring just 4 x 2.14 inches (101.6 x 54.4 mm). This advanced DC module comes with the essential safety approvals, including IEC/UL 62368-1 3rd edition, and offers an impressive 3000 Vac isolation between input and output.

The EC7AW18-ECRT/EDRT series provides a wide range of configurations catering to diverse requirements. It offers single outputs of 5, 12, and 15 VDC, as well as dual outputs of ±5, ±12, and ±15 VDC. A remote on/off function enhances its functionality. Additionally, it fulfills the stringent compliance standards for EN 50155, Shock & Vibration EN 61373, and Fire & Smoke EN 45545-2, rendering it an apt choice for railway applications. Furthermore, its EMI characteristics conform to both EN 50155 and EN 55032 standards.

Notably, this series surpasses the requirements for interruptions of voltage supply in Class S3 and the voltage change-over in Class C2 even without the need for an external capacitor. With a holdup time of 30 ms, it serves as an efficient turnkey solution. The EC7AW18-ECRT/EDRT series offers an ultra-wide input voltage range spanning 10 - 160 VDC, covering commonly distributed voltages in railway power systems. Achieving high efficiency of up to 87%, it seamlessly operates within a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +100°C. Notably, the DC-DC converter performs optimally at high altitudes, reaching up to 5000 m, and offers an impressive MTBF of up to 1000 kilohours.

Fully protected by input UVLO (under voltage lockout), output over-current or voltage, and continuous short circuit protection, the EC7AW18-ECRT/EDRT series boasts approvals including IEC/UL 62368-1 3rd edition, EN 50155, and EN 45545-2. This comprehensive protection is tailored to meet the crucial requirements of the railway market. This versatile chassis-mount DC-DC converter stands as an ideal turnkey solution across a range of railway applications, including information systems, entertainment systems, CPUs, and motor drivers for door control systems. Its suitability extends to industrial and ITE applications, such as automation equipment, test and measurement instruments, commercial equipment, and a variety of other industrial setups.

Cincon's EC7AW18-ECRT/EDRT series represents a pioneering effort in providing powerful, reliable, and versatile power solutions for the railway and industrial sectors, setting new benchmarks for performance, protection, and adaptability.
