Need high power density but find yourself low on board space? Reach for this 15.6W DC-DC converter from Traco Power. It takes inputs across a broad 4:1 range of 9 to 36V DC and transforms them to supply a stable and carefully regulated 12V DC you can use to charge battery-powered devices. As the output voltage is adjustable from 10.8 to 13.2V DC, you'll find it's a breeze to tailor this converter to your application. Dependable EMI characteristics mean you can expect consistent electrical performance. What's more, the compact 25.4 (L) x 25.4 (W) x 9.9mm (D) package takes up half the PCB space of conventional converters.

• Performs reliably across a broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C
• Pi filter on inputs helps give you low ripple voltages with minimal noise of 100 mVp-p
• 87% efficiency means it wastes little energy as heat and keeps cool with free-air convection alone

• Mobile instrumentation
• Distributed power architectures
• Telecommunications networks

The unit comes with continuous short-circuit protection and overvoltage tripping. It's also isolated to 1.6kV DC, so you're protected against typical current and voltage faults along with disruptive electrical surges.
