The PQME3 series is housed in a compact, standard 14-pin surface-mount package, measuring 19.20 x 18.10 x 10.16 mm (0.76 x 0.71 x 0.40 inches), providing a robust, low-power solution for a variety of industrial, test and measurement, and telecommunications applications, thanks to its encapsulated design.
Ideal for converting and isolating fluctuating DC voltages, the 3W series offers 4:1 input ratio ranges of 9 to 36 Vdc and 18 to 75 Vdc, regulated outputs of 3.3, 5, 9, 12, 15, and 24 Vdc, remote on/off control, and 1500 Vdc input-to-output isolation. For devices where power consumption is a concern, the PQME3 series offers up to 84% efficiency and no-load power consumption of less than 0.1 W. Operating temperatures range from -40 to +71°C at full load, reducing to 60% load at +85°C, making these low-power modules suitable for harsh environments.
The 3W isolated DC-DC converters also comply with CISPR22/EN55022 Class B limits for conducted and radiated emissions, plus current and short-circuit protections as well as a minimum MTBF of 1,000,000 hours at +25°C ambient, calculated per MIL-HDBK-217F.
The PQME3 series is available immediately with prices starting at $10.76 per unit in orders of 200, through distributors. Contact CUI for OEM pricing.
