6W DC/DC converter family certified for medical applications

Artesyn has announced an ASA 6W-M Series of 6W DC/DC converters that provides OEMs with a cost-effective solution for applications in industrial and medical instrumentation requiring a certified compliance with the stringent industrial or medical safety standards.

The series provides a 4000V AC reinforced insulation system and its 10GO insulation resistance is twice the MOOP requirement. Certified to UL/cUL/EN/ IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition, the product family has a calculated MTBF of 1million hours.

Encapsulated in a compact 31.8 x 20.3mm industry-standard package, the ASA 6W-M series offers up to 80% efficiency and covers an input voltage range of 12V, 24V or 48V (9 to 18V DC; 18 to 36V DC; 36 to 75V DC).

The series consists of 5V and 12V single output models, together with 12/-12V and 15/-15V dual output models. These DC/DC modules can operate from -40 to 75°C with full power available to 55°C and power derating at higher temperatures. Additional features include low leakage current required in medical applications, protection from overvoltage, and EMI characteristics that meet EN 55022, class A and FCC level A.
