RECOM Power Introduces DC-DC Converters for Off-Highway Electric Vehicles
RECOM Unveils RMOD500-W Series DC-DC Converters: Powering Innovation in Off-Highway Electric Vehicles
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of RECOM's innovative power conversion solutions, is excited to announce the release of the RMOD500-W Series. This groundbreaking series of DC-DC converters is specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of off-highway electric vehicles, empowering engineers to create robust and efficient e-mobility solutions.
Engineered for Reliability and Performance in Challenging Environments
The RMOD500-W Series boasts a combination of features that make it ideal for off-highway applications:
- Wide Input Voltage Range: The converters seamlessly handle a wide input voltage range of 32 - 96 VDC, accommodating the most common 48 V and 80 V battery systems used in off-highway vehicles. This flexibility ensures compatibility with various battery configurations without compromising performance.
- Stable Low-Voltage Network: The series delivers a dependable 500 W output with single voltage options of 12.4 V, 13.7 V, and 24.5 VDC. This translates to a stable low-voltage network derived directly from the vehicle's traction battery level, powering critical systems effectively.
Optimizing Power Efficiency and Durability
Beyond its core functionality, the RMOD500-W Series prioritizes both efficiency and durability:
- Rugged Construction: The series features a robust, waterproof, and dustproof (IP67) housing, making it impervious to the harsh elements encountered in off-highway environments.
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: The converters function reliably within a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +90°C, ensuring consistent performance regardless of extreme weather conditions.
- Comprehensive Protection Suite: The RMOD500-W Series incorporates a comprehensive set of protections, including input reverse polarity protection, input under-voltage lockout (UVLO), output over-current protection (OCP), short circuit protection (SCP), output over-voltage protection (OVP), and over-temperature protection (OTP). This safeguards the converters and connected systems from potential electrical hazards.
Enhanced Design Flexibility and Streamlined Integration
The RMOD500-W Series prioritizes ease of use for designers:
- Plug-and-Play Design: The convenient plug-and-play design allows for direct mechanical and thermal connection to the vehicle chassis. This eliminates the need for complex mounting procedures and simplifies integration into existing vehicle designs.
- Parallel Operation Capability: The converters offer parallel operation capability, enabling designers to scale the power output to meet the specific requirements of their applications.
- Control ON/OFF Function: The integrated control ON/OFF function provides additional control and flexibility for system management.
By incorporating the RMOD500-W Series DC-DC converters into your off-highway electric vehicle designs, you can achieve superior power efficiency, exceptional reliability, and streamlined system integration.
