DC/DC Converter for Electric and Automated Guided Vehicles

The DC/DC converters of the series PCMDS550-FT are tailor-made to meet the requirements in electric vehicle applications. Highest quality and safety are of particular importance when using power supplies on these electric vehicles. As a link between the supply system and the electronic subsystems, extremely high demands are placed on them with regard to their reliability. Due to the good price performance ratio and the excellent technical data, these converters, though, are increasingly used in stationary and industrial applications.

The low Ripple & Noise values combined with a high output voltage consistency guarantee reliable operation of all connected loads. Other decisive features are short-circuit resistance, transient protection, the insulation resistance of 1.18 kVAC prim.-sec. and a temperature range -25 ...+50 °C.The PCMDS550-FT modules are designed in an aluminum case with a compact design (189 x 115 x 60 mm). The thermal concept of these vacuum encapsulated DC/DC converters provides an optimised heat dissipation of all power semiconductors by thermal coupling to the base plate. The encapsulated design allows installation on vehicles without suspension or without pneumatic tires thus causing highest shock and vibration stresses. The connection is made by a 4 pole FEP flat connector. The devices are CE-compliant and prepared for protection class 2.
