TDK-Lambda News

TDK Corporation (TSE 6762) announces the introduction of 6W and 10W models to the TDK-Lambda CCG series of DC-DC converters, suitable for either through hole or surface mount placement. This expands the CCG series to cover 1.5W to 30W. In addition to battery powered equipment, applications include process control, data communications, telecommunications and test and measurement related products.

The CCG6 (6W) and CCG10 (10W) series are available with output voltages of 3.3, 5, 12, 15, ±12 or ±15V with the capability of operating the dual models to provide a single 24 or 30V output. All voltages and output power combinations can operate from either a 4.5 to 18V, 9 to 36V or 18 to 76Vdc input, providing an additional 36 output voltage and current models to the CCG product family.

Using the trim terminal, the single output models can be adjusted by -5% to +10% of the nominal output voltage for non-standard settings or to compensate for voltage drops. All models are protected against an over-current condition and have an input to output isolation voltage of 1,500Vdc. The remote on/off function can be used to turn the output off, or alternatively place the DC-DC converters in standby mode, reducing the input power consumption to typically <0.1W, to extend the battery life when used in portable equipment.

The CCG6 and CCG10 share a common footprint of 19mm x 12.4mm (length x width) with a height of 11.5mm for the through-hole and 11.8mm for the surface mount models. The plastic case contains no encapsulant, avoiding quality risks associated with silicone potting compounds during reflow-soldering. The highly automated production line utilises X-ray inspection to inspect solder joints for higher reliability.

The operating temperature range for the CCG6 is from -40 up to +95°C and -40 up to +90°C for the CCG10 using convection or forced air cooling. Safety certification includes IEC/UL/CSA/EN 62368-1 with CE and UKCA marks to the Low Voltage and RoHS Directives.
