SMT Package Simplifies Power Module Deployment

Promising easy implementation, Ericsson offers a surface-mount version of its 380W PKM4000B module with an input voltage of 36V to 75V and an output of 12V/33A. The module addresses the increasing space-saving requirements of emerging apps. The PKM4000B SI sports a standard quarter-brick footprint and is 100% compatible with similar products on the market. With a typical efficiency of 96% at half load and a 48V input, the module reduces overall power consumption. Additionally, the company’s Floated Inserted Pin (FIP) technology guarantees high co-planarity and a wide soldering surface, reducing contact resistance to a minimum. Price in OEM quantities is $45.50 each. ERICSSON INC., Plano, TX. (972) 583-6910/-5254.
