[ 2 YEAR WARRANTY ]
The SIL30C is a new high density open-
frame non-isolated converter series for
space sensitive applications. The
converter has a wide input range
(10.2 Vdc to 13.8 Vdc) and offers a wide
0.9 Vdc to 5 Vdc output voltage range
with a 30 A load. An external resistor
adjusts the output voltage from its preset
value of 0.9 V to any value up to the 5 V
maximum. The SIL has a typical efficiency
of 91%. The series offers remote ON/OFF,
over-temperature protection and over-
current protection as standard.
Its current share facility supports parallel
operation of multiple SIL30C units and the
remote sense feature enables the SIL30C
compensate for voltage drops between
the converters output and the load. With
full international safety approvals including
EN60950 and UL/cUL60950 the SIL30C
reduces compliance costs and time to
market.
