Luso Electronics highlights DC/DC converter series

Luso Electronics is highlighting the MPQ60W series, a DC/DC converter designed for use in medical and homecare applications, such as: laser treatment, electrosurgical systems, physiotherapy chairs, medical aesthetic, endoscopic devices, patient monitoring, drug delivery, defibrillation equipment among many others.

Due to its low leakage current being less than 4.5μA, these DC/DC converters can also be used for the stringent classification of type-CF applied part (cardiac floating) equipment.

This series is certified according to IEC/EN/ANSI/AAMI ES 60601-1, IEC/EN 60601-1-2, 4th edition and IEC/EN/UL 62368-1. It is designed with 5000VAC reinforced 2 x MOPP insulation, 250VAC working voltage and 8mm air clearance and creepage distance.

These power converters provide 60W output power in a quarter brick package and have a patented transformer design, which allows the converters to perform with an efficiency of up to 92.5%. The optimised manufacturing process and construction, certified to ISO 13485, guarantees the highest reliability. They have a 4:1 input range of 9-36VDC and 18-75VDC and come equipped with protection circuits for over/under-voltage protection, over-current and short-circuit and over-temperature protection. The available ISO 14971 Risk Management file supports designers in preparing technical documentation for medical devices.

Also, these units are compliant with MIL-STD-810F for shock and vibration. With an operating altitude of up to 5000 meters and a wide operating ambient temperature range of -40°C to +105°C, makes these converters the ideal choice for powering any medical application where a safety barrier is required.
