Description
This series of DC-DC converters has been developed for
powering electronic circuits, e.g. telephone system compo-
nents, control modules and small appliances. They are also
suitable for applications with variable input voltages or with
input transients. The converters feature high efficiency,
high reliability, and good dynamic response to load
changes and at start-up. Efficiency is high and practically
constant over the entire input voltage range. Two input to
output isolation test voltage categories and two tempera-
ture ranges are available.
All modules are manufactured according to ISO 9001.
Case: DIL 24 package, grey coloured plastics, self cooling
(free air convection).

Safety Instructions
DC-DC Converters <40 W
Rugged Environment
If the output circuit of a DC-DC converter is operator-acces-
sible according to the IEC 950 related safety standards, it
shall be an SELV circuit (Safety Extra Low Voltage circuit,
i.e. a circuit, separated from mains by at least basic insula-
tion, that is so designed and protected that under normal
and single fault conditions, the voltage between any two
conductors and between any conductor and earth does not
exceed DC 60 V).
In the following section an interpretation is provided of the
IEC 950 safety standard with respect to the safety status of
the output circuit. However, it is the sole responsibility of the
installer or user to assure the compliance with the relevant
and applicable safety standards.
If the following table is observed, the output of any DC-DC
converter is considered to be an SELV.

The earth connection has to be provided by the installer according to the relevant safety standard, e.g. IEC 950.
The output has to be protected against overvoltages higher than 60 V by external means, e.g. an overvoltage suppressor diode.
Has to be insulated from earth by at least basic insulation according to the relevant safety standard, based on the maximum input
voltage of the DC-DC converter.
Has to be insulated from earth by double or reinforced insulation according to the relevant safety standard, based on the maximum in-
put voltage of the DC-DC converter.

Isolation Tests
Input to output isolation voltage tests are performed as factory tests (100 %) and should not be repeated in the field.

Connection in Series
If the outputs of one or more units are connected in series
each individual output should be protected by a zener diode
or preferably by a suppressor diode to avoid overvoltages
or reverse polarity at the individual outputs, e.g.: 1N5908
(5 V), BZW04-11 (12 V), BZW04-14 (15 V) or equivalent
types.
Such destructive voltages may occur at switch-on cycle of
the converters, if the output voltages do not rise at the same
time. The "slower" output(s) could be supplied and, as a
result, destroyed by the "faster" output(s) via the load. The
maximum output current is limited by the lowest current
limitation.
Connection in Parallel
Connection of the outputs of one or more units in parallel is
not permitted. The load distribution and the ripple values
could not be controlled.
Cleaning
Two CFC free cleaning solvents have been tested and can
be recommended:
– Prozone from BP
– Zestron from Dr. O. K. Wack Chemie GmbH (Germany)
Submersion of the units in water for rinsing is permitted.
Drying should be done in the air.

Shutdown Description
The shutdown terminal is used to switch the converter out-
put voltage
U
o
on and off via a control signal (e.g. using an
open collector drive). See "Electrical Input and Output
Data".
The output voltage is switched on when the shutdown ter-
minal is open circuit or +8...+10 V. The output voltage is
switched off when a voltage of –0.3...+2 V is applied to the
shutdown terminal. At the open shutdown pin 10...12 V will
appear.
