Artesyn Embedded Technologies has extended its family of 1" x 1", isolated, DC-DC converters to include the AXA series of 10 W and 20 W models. The AXA family is suitable for diverse, low-power applications in areas such as industrial automation, instrumentation, test and measurement, and telecommunications..

A fully potted and metal-cased construction makes the Artesyn AXA series an ideal choice for harsh environments and enables the modules to operate between -40°C and 85°C. An optional clip-on heat sink is available to extend the thermal performance of the unit in a convection or forced-air environment.

The AXA series of high-input, isolated, DC-DC converters cover an ultra-wide, 4:1 input voltage range of 18 V_DC to 75 V_DC or 9 V_DC to 36 V_DC respectively and are primarily designed for use with nominal 48 V or 24 V supplies. There is a choice of single-voltage versions and dual-output versions for both series. The converters are fully encapsulated in a compact, 1" x 1" (25.4 mm x 25.4 mm) metal case incorporating an isolated baseplate and have a height of just 0.4" (10.2 mm).
