Q48T30015 DC-DC Converter Data Sheet

Category: Electronics, Other Semiconductors, Powerone

Overview

The Q48T30015 DC-DC Converter is a breakthrough product that delivers high performance in a standard quarter brick format. Noteworthy for its exceptional efficiency, superior thermal management, and a slim profile, this through-hole mounted converter is specially designed for demanding telecommunications applications. With its compact size, it mitigates airflow shadowing effects, thereby benefiting the cooling processes of adjacent devices.

Compliance and Features

Power-One has implemented cutting-edge circuitry and packaging, adopting 100% surface-mount technologies that lead to a higher quality and reliability of the product, which is also Ro$ Compliant.

Key features include:

Capability to deliver up to 30 A of output.
Superior efficiency rates of 82.5% at 30 A and 84.5% at 15 A.
Start-up functionality supporting pre-biased output without requiring a minimum load.
No necessity for an additional heat sink due to the unit’s low-profile at 0.28 inches [7.2 mm] height.
Light in weight, around 1 oz [28 g].
Adheres to the industry-standard footprint and pinout.
Incorporates basic insulation meeting the EN60950 requirements.
Capable of handling 100 V input transients for 100 ms.

Protection and Certification

The converter is equipped with an on-board LC input filter, a fixed-frequency operation, and is fully protected with features such as remote output sense and an output voltage trim range of +10%/-20%. Its high reliability is evident from the significant MTBF of 2.6 million hours, assessed per Telcordia TR-332. It comes with case positive or negative logic ON/OFF option and certifications from UL 60950 in the U.S. & Canada, and DEMKO certification per IEC/EN 60950.

Emission Standards and Material Quality

The Q48T30015 DC-DC Converter complies with FCC Class B and EN55022 Class B emission standards when fitted with an external filter. The materials used in the construction of the device comfortably meet the UL94, V-0 flammability rating.

Performance Metrics

According to Figure 1 on the datasheet, the load current availability correlates with the ambient air temperature and airflow rates, ensuring stable performance in various operating conditions. This information ensures users can effectively integrate the Q48T30015 into systems requiring precise power management, like telecommunications, data communications, wireless infrastructures, and servers.
