DC/DC power supply module for rugged automotive applications

Diamond Systems has unveiled the Jupiter-MM-5000 high-efficiency, high-precision family of DC/DC power supply modules. These rugged I/O modules offer up to 196W of 5 and 12Vdc power in either the compact PC/104 form factor or PC/104-Plus form factor.

The Jupiter-MM-5000 power supplies consist of a PC/104 form factor module with complete DC/DC voltage regulator circuitry, integrated thermal solution, detachable screw terminal block I/O connections, and PC/104 bus connectors. Its input voltage range of 7 to 34Vdc is compatible with industry standard 12, 24, and 28V inputs. The Jupiter-MM-5000 is claimed to deliver efficiency as high as 95%, reducing input power requirements as well as heat generation.

Jupiter-MM-5000 is suitable for use in rugged automotive or on-vehicle applications. Extended temperature operation of -40°C to 85°C is said to be tested and guaranteed. Low-profile, surface mount components reduce susceptibility to shock and vibration. I/O connections are made with locking screw terminal blocks for the highest degree of ruggedness. The modules are compatible with MIL-STD-202G shock and vibration specifications.
