Isolated DC-DC Converters

Isolated DC-DC converters convert a source of direct current (DC) from one voltage to another, and contain an electrical barrier between the input and output to improve safety. They are suitable for a range of applications, including telecommunication equipment, industrial equipment and consumer electronics.

What are isolated DC-DC converters used for?

Isolated DC-DC converters are used within equipment and devices containing different circuits or sub-circuits where it is necessary to convert the voltage of a DC supply from one level to another. For converting AC to DC, an AC-DC converter would be used.

Types of isolated DC-DC converters

Isolated DC-DC converters come in a wide range of input and output voltages and a variety of mountings, such as:

• Chassis mount
• DIN Rail mount
• Flange mount
• PCB mount
• Rack mount
• Surface mount
• Through hole

The advantages of isolated DC-DC converters:

• Meet international safety standards and regulations.
• Electrical isolation provides additional safety to personnel in case of internal failure.
• Wide range of voltage conversion with high efficiency.

Certain models are railway- and medical-approved.
