Robust, inexpensive, reliable – DC/DC Converter PCMDS550-FT for Forklift Trucks
The DC/DC converters of the series PCMDS550-FT are tailor-made to meet the requirements in forklift truck technology. Highest quality and safety are of particular importance when using power supplies in these applications.
As a link between the supply system and the electronic subsystems, extremely high demands are placed on them with regard to their reliability. Due to the good price performance ratio and the excellent technical data, these converters, though, are increasingly used in stationary and industrial applications.
The new PCMDS550-FT series can be flexibly used. The nominal input voltages are 48 V, 80 V and 96 V. The existing input filter protects the devices against the typical transients occurring inmon-board electrical systems. The standard output voltages are 12 V and 13,8 V.
The low Ripple & Noise values combined with a high output voltage constant guarantee reliable operation of all connected consumers. Other decisive features are short-circuit resistance, transient protection, the insulation resistance of 1.18 kVAC prim.-sec. and a temperature range -25 ...+50 ° C.
The PCMDS550-FT are designed in a aluminum case with a compact design (189 x 115 x 60 mm). The thermal concept of these vacuum encapsulated DC/DC converters provides an optimised heat dissipation of all power semiconductors by thermal coupling to the base plate. The encapsulated design allows installation on vehicles without suspension or without pneumatic tires with the highest shock and vibration stresses. The connection is made by a 4 pole FEP flat connector. The devices are CE-compliant and prepared for protection class 2.
