PKU-E Series DC/DC Converters

Flex Power Modules' PKU-E 50 W+ isolated sixteenth-brick product series is an excellent choice for customer applications that require a wide input range in a small package. The PKU-E series is designed for distributed power architectures in telecom systems requiring compatibility with both common battery voltages used in mobile radio applications (24 V) and fixed applications using 48 V. It is also a perfect solution for customers addressing industrial and transportation segments where voltages could vary by as much as 20 V to 60 V, and for other applications where a single product could accommodate a wide range of input voltages from 18 V to 75 V.

Factors driving the demand for this type of product are smaller footprint size, high operating efficiency, price, and its versatile/wide input range. With its low profile of just 9.4 mm, the PKU-E is ideal for applications with tight board space and low-profile requirements.

The surface mount option uses the floating inserted pin (FIP) concept. This PKU-E surface mount version is compatible with the most demanding assembly processes. The surface mount product is intended for forced convection or vapor phase reflow soldering in SnPb or Pb-free processes.
