Murata has announced the NXE2 Series 2-W surface-mounted DC/DC converters. Footprint-compatible with similar 1- and 2-W devices available on the market, and measuring just 12.5 x 4.36 x 10.41 mm, the NXE2 Series provides more power output in the same space.
The converter is constructed using fully automated techniques in a halogen free iLGA inspectable package with an integrated transformer. This approach increases product reliability and repeatability of converter performance.
The series comprises four models with nominal input voltages of +5 or +12 VDC and outputs of +5, +12 or +15 VDC. Input-to-output isolation of 3 kVDC is standard across the range.
Ann-Marie Bayliss, product marketing manager, Murata Power Solutions, commented, “The NXE2 series represents a 2-W halogen-free converter in a footprint that has a 50% lower profile.”
The NXE2 series is suitable for use in industrial automation, instrumentation, and transportation equipment. It is also intended for use in telecom, wireless, and medical designs that require a low-power isolated DC voltage.
Certification to UL60950 and medical safety is pending.
