The TEN12-4811 is a 12 Watt DC/DC converter module manufactured by TRACO Power (TRACO Electronic AG). DC/DC converters are used to convert a DC voltage from one level to another, often providing isolation between the input and output.
Applications:
- Industrial automation.
- Instrumentation.
- Telecommunications.
- Transportation.
- Medical equipment.
Features:
- 12 Watt output power.
- 4:1 wide input voltage range (e.g., 36-75 VDC).
- Single output (e.g., 5 VDC, 12 VDC, 15VDC). Output voltage depends on the specific model. TEN12-4811 indicates a single output.
- 1500 VDC input/output isolation.
- Short circuit protection.
- Overload protection.
- Overvoltage protection.
- Remote On/Off control (typically).
- Industry-standard package (typically 2" x 1").
Benefits:
- Wide input voltage range: Accommodates a variety of input voltage sources.
- Galvanic isolation: Provides electrical isolation between the input and output circuits, enhancing safety and reducing noise.
- Protection features: Protects the converter and the connected load from damage due to short circuits, overloads, and overvoltages.
- Remote On/Off control: Enables remote control of the converter's output.
- Reliable operation: Designed for reliable performance in demanding environments.
Additional Details:
The TEN12-4811 series features high efficiency, typically above 80%, which minimizes heat dissipation. These converters are designed to meet industry safety standards. They offer a wide operating temperature range, often from -40°C to +85°C. TRACO Power's DC/DC converters are known for their ruggedness and long-term reliability. The 48 in the part number suggests a nominal 48V input, but due to the 4:1 input range, can likely accept input voltages between 36V and 75V. The '11' likely specifies a single output voltage; however, the exact voltage (5V, 12V, 15V or others) is determined by further suffix codes that are not provided here. Designers should always consult the official TRACO Power datasheet for TEN12-4811 to determine the specific input voltage range, output voltage, output current, isolation voltage, and other critical specifications before using it in their application.
