Mouser Electronics Expands C&D Technologies Product Portfolio

Mouser Electronics, Inc., known for its rapid introduction of the newest products, today announced it has expanded its C&D Technologies portfolio to include the UQQ Series “Quarter-Brick” DC/DC Converters for applications requiring wide range input, as well as improved electrical and thermal performance.

“Both the design engineering community and our suppliers rely on Mouser to supply the newest products available to the marketplace,” according to Barry McConnell, Mouser Vice President of Product Marketing. “By stocking new products like these from C&D Technologies, Mouser is able to fulfill its commitment to both suppliers and design engineers.”

The ultra-wide 4:1 input range of converters supply up to 100W of usable power offers enhanced flexibility for industrial, mobile, medical, and telecom applications. The UQQ converter series employs an interleaved, synchronous-rectifier topology that exploits 100% of the duty cycle. These devices simultaneously achieve ultra-high efficiency up to 91%, tight line/load regulation, low noise, and quick step response.

The state-of-the-art single-board, open-frame design is highly efficient with a reduced component count, low on-resistance FETs, and planar magnetics embedded in heavy-copper PC boards – all of which contribute to impressive thermal de-rating.

From a 9-36V or 18-75V input, the UQQ series delivers outputs of 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V or 24V, and measures 1.45 x 2.30 x 0.43 inches. The industry standard footprint carries on/off control (positive or negative polarity), output trim (+10/-20%), and output sense functions. An optional base plate keeps the package below 0.5” providing more usable power in applications with little or no air flow.

The UQQ’s feature set includes high isolation, input pi filters, input undervoltage shutdown, output overvoltage protection, current limiting, short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. These converters have a standard quarter-brick package (pinout in through-hole version), are fully isolated up to 2250Vdc, and have UL/EN/EIC60950 safety approvals.
