(Models pictured with chassis mount adaptor and optional heatsink)

The TEP-100 Series is a family of isolated high performance

dc-dc converter modules with ultra-wide 2:1 input voltage ranges
which come in a rugged, sealed metal case.
These converters are suitable for a wide range of applications,
but the product is designed particularly also for industrial applications where often no PCB mounting is possible but the module
has to be mounted on a chassis. Four threaded M3 inserts in
the module makes chassis mount or attachment of a heatsink for

optimal thermal management very simple.

For easy connection there is also an unique adaptor available with
screw terminals. A very high efficiency allows an operating temperature up to +60C with natural convection cooling without power
derating. Further features include output voltage trimming, Remote
On/Off and under voltage lockout. The very wide input voltage range
and reverse input voltage protection make these converters also an
interesting solution for battery operated systems.
