Summary
The IMS 6 series of board mountable 6 W DC-DC convert-
ers has been designed according to the latest industry re-
quirements and standards. The converters are particularly
suitable for use in mobile or stationary applications in trans-
port, industry or telecommunications where variable input
voltages or high transient voltages are prevalent.
Covering a total input voltage range from 18 V DC up to
75 V DC.
The converters are designed and built according to the
international safety standards IEC/EN 60950, UL 1950,
CAN/CSA C22.2 No.950-95 and are LGA and UL marked.
A special feature is their small case size, DIL 24 with only
9.0 mm profile. The circuit comprises integrated planar
magnetics and all components are automatically assem-
bled and solidly soldered onto a single PCB without any
wire connections. Thanks to the rigid mechanical design the
units withstand an extremely high level of shock and vibra-
tions. Careful considerations of possible thermal stresses
ensure the absence of hot spots providing long life in envi-
ronments where temperature cycles are a reality. The ther-
mal design allows operation at full load up to an ambient
temperature of 71C in free air without using any potting
material.
Options : SMD pinout or K-pinout, an alternative to the
standard industrial pinout, provide a high level of applica-
tion specific engineering and design-in flexibility.

Functional Description
The IMS 6 DC-DC modules are feedback controlled flyback
converters using current mode PWM (Pulse Width Modula-
tion).
The converter input is protected against transients by
means of a suppressor diode.
The output voltage is monitored by a separate transformer
winding close to the secondary windings and fed back to
the control circuit.

limiting the total output current (

The close magnetic coupling provided by the planar con-
struction ensures very good regulation and allows for flex-
ible load distribution on dual output types.

Inrush Current
The inrush current has been kept as low as possible by
choosing a very small input capacitance. A series resistor

Reverse Polarity Protection at Input
The suppressor diode on the input also provides for reverse
polarity protection by conducting current in the reverse di-
rection, thus protecting the unit. An external fuse is required
to limit this current:
– For 24 IMS 6 a fast 0.63 A (F0.63A) fuse is recommended
– For 48 IMS 6 a fast 0.35 A (F035A) fuse is recommended
Filter recommendations for compliance with EN 55022
Electromagnetic emission requirements according to table

can be achieved by adding an external capacitor
as close as possible to the input terminals.

Output overvoltage protection
The outputs of the IMS 6 converters are protected against
overvoltages by Zener diodes. In the event of an overvolt-
age on the output, the unit will shut-down and attempt to
restart automatically. The main purpose of this feature is to
protect against possible overvoltages which could occur
due to a failure in the feedback control circuit. The units are
not designed to withstand external overvoltages applied to
the outputs.
Connection in series
The outputs of single or dual output units can be connected
in series without any precautions, taking into consideration
that the highest output voltage should remain below 60 V for
SELV operation.
Connection in parallel
The outputs of several units with equal nominal output volt-
age can be connected in parallel. Approximate current
sharing between 2 or several units is ensured by their load
dependent output characteristic.

Thermal Considerations
If a converter, mounted on a PCB, is located in free, quasi-
stationary air (convection cooling) at the indicated maxi-
mum ambient temperature
T
A max (see table:
Temperature
specifications)
and is operated at its nominal input voltage
and output power, the case temperature
T
C measured at
the:
Measuring point of case temperature T
C
(see:
Me-
chanical Data
) will approach the indicated value
T
C max af-
ter the warm-up phase. However, the relationship between
T
A and
T
C depends heavily on the conditions of operation
and integration into a system. The thermal conditions are
influenced by input voltage, output current, airflow, tem-
perature of surrounding components and surfaces and the
properties of the printed circuit board.
T
A max is therefore
only an indicative value and under practical operating con-
ditions, the ambient temperature
T
A may be higher or lower
than this value.
Caution: The case temperature
T
C measured at the
Measuring point of case temperature T
C
(see:
Mechani-
cal Data
) may under no circumstances exceed the speci-
fied maximum value. The installer must ensure that un-
der all operating conditions
T
C remains within the limits
stated in the table
Temperature specifications.
Short Circuit Behaviour
The current limit characteristic shuts down the converter
whenever a short circuit is applied to its output. It acts self-
protecting and automatically recovers after removal of the
overload condition.

Input Fuse
To prevent excessive current flowing through the input sup-
ply line in case of a short-circuit across the converter input
an external fuse should be installed in a non earthed input
supply line. We recommend a fast acting fuse F0.5A
for 24 IMS 6 and F0.315A for 48 IMS 6 types.
Standards and approvals
All DC-DC converters are UL recognized according to UL
1950, UL recognized for Canada to CAN/CSA C22.2 No.
950-95 and LGA approved to IEC/EN 60950 standards.
The units have been evaluated for:
• Building in
• Supplementary insulation input to output, based on their
maximum input voltage
•The use in a pollution degree 2 environment
•Connecting the input to a secondary circuit which is sub-
ject to a maximum transient rating of 1500 V.
The DC-DC converters are subject to manufacturing sur-
veillance in accordance with the above mentioned UL,
CSA, EN and ISO 9001 standards.
Safety of operator accessible output circuits
If the output circuit of a DC-DC converter is operator acces-
sible, it shall be an SELV circuit according to IEC/EN 60950
related safety standards
The insulation concept table below shows some possible
installation configurations, compliance with which causes
the output circuit of the DC-DC converter to be an SELV cir-
cuit according to IEC/EN 60950 up to a configured output
voltage (sum of nominal voltages if in series or +/– configu-
ration) of 46 V.
However, it is the sole responsibility of the installer to en-
sure the compliance with the relevant and applicable safety
regulations. More information is given in:

1The front end output voltage should match the specified input voltage range of the DC-DC converter.
2The earth connection has to be provided by the installer according to the relevant safety standard, e.g. IEC/EN 60950.
3The installer shall provide an approved fuse (type with the lowest rating suitable for the application) in a non-earthed input line directly
at the input of the DC-DC converter (see fig.:
Schematic safety concept
). For UL’s purpose, the fuse needs to be UL-listed. See also:
Input Fuse
.
4Each suppressor diode should be dimensioned in such a way, that in the case of an insulation fault the diode is able to limit the output
voltage to SELV (<60 V) until the input fuse blows (see fig.:
Schematic safety concept
).
5Has to be insulated from earth by double or reinforced insulation according to the relevant safety standard, based on the maximum
output voltage from the front end.
Cleaning Agents
In order to avoid possible damage, any penetration of
cleaning fluids has to be prevented, since the power sup-
plies are not hermetically sealed.
Protection Degree
The protection degree of the DC-DC converters is IP 30.
Isolation
The electric strength test is performed as factory test in ac-
cordance with IEC/EN 60950 and UL 1950 and should not
be repeated in the field. Melcher will not honour any guar-
antee claims resulting from electric strength field tests.

Option M
Surface mount version.
Note: Precautions should be taken when reflow soldering
the SMD version, option M. The reflow soldering instruc-
tions below should be strictly adhered to. An inadequate
soldering process may permanently damage the converter
or degrade its performance and Melcher will not honour any
guarantee/warranty claims resulting from damage caused
by ignoring the soldering instructions.
Infrared soldering is not permitted.
The surface mountable version of this product is assem-
bled with high melting point solder (227C) to ensure that
the solder joints of of the internal components do not de-
grade in the end users SMD soldering process.
This product is only specified for "Forced Convection
Reflow Soldering" (Hot Air). Any conventional soldering
profile is acceptable provided that the restriction curve be-
low is not exceeded at any time during the reflow process.
