Traco Power Launches 80W DC/DC Converter Series

Traco Power has expanded its portfolio with the TEN 80WI series, a line of isolated, high-performance DC/DC converters that deliver 80 Watts of power within an industry-standard 2"×1" shielded metal package. Designed for cost-efficiency and reliability, the converters feature a wide 4:1 input voltage range (9–36 VDC and 18–75 VDC) and produce precisely regulated, fully isolated outputs. The series achieves efficiency ratings of up to 92%, allowing for continuous operation in temperature ranges from –40°C to +60°C without power derating.

The TEN 80WI series is equipped with a suite of built-in features, including remote On/Off, output voltage trim, and 1500 VDC I/O isolation. It also incorporates comprehensive protection mechanisms against over-temperature, overload, overvoltage, and short circuits, with an optional heatsink available for increased thermal capabilities. Certified to the latest IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 IT safety standards and backed by a three-year warranty, the converters are ideally suited for mobile equipment, instrumentation, and distributed power architectures across industrial and communication electronics.

Achieving 80 Watts of power output in a standard 2"×1" form factor represents a remarkably high level of power density, a metric that has steadily increased as industrial electronics demand smaller, more powerful components. Historically, DC/DC converters of this physical size were limited to outputs of 30 to 50 watts due to thermal constraints. The ability of the TEN 80WI series to operate up to +60°C without derating is largely attributed to its 92% conversion efficiency, meaning less electrical energy is wasted as heat. Furthermore, the wide 4:1 input voltage ranges (such as 18–75 VDC) allow a single converter model to be used across multiple nominal voltage buses—like standard 24V industrial systems and 48V telecommunications architectures—streamlining inventory and simplifying power supply design for engineers.
