Want a stable supply of energy to run your battery-boosted electronics? Look no further than this DC-DC converter from Traco Power. It makes energising your batteries easy as pie by transforming inputs across a broad 4:1 range from 18 to 75V DC into a carefully regulated 12V DC charge. As the unit comes with short-circuit and overload protections, as well as undervoltage lockout, you and your equipment are protected against current and voltage faults. Thanks to its functional insulation, it isolates electrical surges up to 1.6kV DC so there's no risk to you or connected devices.

• Robust nickel-plated copper housing resists impacts in busy industrial settings
• Mean time between failures of 2,800,000h for long-term performance
• EN 50155 approval indicates it's safe for railway and transportation applications
• Power-up time is typically 450ms for a speedy switch-on

• Telecommunications networks
• Data processing
• Automation and control systems

An 87% efficiency rating indicates this converter wastes very little energy as heat. This means you won't need a heatsink to keep it cool as it can regulate its temperature using free-air convection alone.
