TracoPower
The availability of a new range of DC/DC converters that target use in medical applications has been announced by RS Components (RS).
Offering high reliability and value, the TIM 2 and TIM 3.5 series of converters are manufactured by Traco Power and feature 2W and 3.5W DC/DC converters, respectively.
Importantly for medical applications, the TIM series provides reinforced isolation of up to 5,000VAC (RMS).
Also, offering a low leakage current of less than 2μA, the converters are suited to use in insulating electrical equipment within the BF classification for patient applied parts.
The converters are approved to IEC/EN/ES60601-1 third edition for 250VAC 2xMOPP up to an altitude of 5,000m, and an ISO14971 risk management file is available.
Further approvals include compliance with the latest EMC requirements IEC 60601-1-2 fourth edition for medical equipment.
TIM series availability
Available in compact DIP-16 or SMD-16 packages, a range of series models are available with output voltages of 3.3, 5.0, 9.0, 12, 15, 24, ±12 and ±15VDC. Devices in the series offer input voltage ranges of 4.5-12V, 9.0-18V, 18-36V and 36-75VDC.
Delivering high efficiencies, the converters also offer operation at environmental temperatures from –40 to 95°C and up to 90°C for the TIM 3.5 series. Both series provide shock, vibration and thermal shock resistance, according to MIL-STD-810F.
The Traco Power TIM 2 and TIM 3.5 series are supplied with a five year product warranty. The TIM 2 and TIM 3.5 series are shipping now in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.
