Description

The VI-200 and VI-J00 Seriesof DC-DC converters have set the standard for high power, low noise, reliability and ease-of-use in the component power industry. Thousands of combinations of input voltages, output voltages and power levels means not having to compromise when selecting modules for your power system. These power modules are field proven with an installed base of over 15 million units.

Compact and efficient, VI-200 and VI-J00 converters feature wide input voltage ranges, remote sense, enhanced output programmability, and low standby dissipation. Power boosters provide a simple, cost-effective solution for higher power requirements up to kilowatts. VI-200 products also offer output overvoltage protection and thermal shutdown. VI-J00 units can operate to 100°C baseplate temperatures.

These units are available in several different temperature grades (down to -55°C operation and -65°C storage) and with different baseplate styles. The electronic circuitry is a fully encapsulated for protection in harsh environments and models are available with integral heat sinks.
