Murata's NCS3 series of isolated 3 W DC-DC converters are through-hole mounting converters, packaged in an industry-standard, pin-compatible, SIP format, making them ideal as a replacement part when updating older product designs.
Accommodating a wide 4:1 input voltage range around either a 12 VDC or 48 VDC nominal, the NCS3 series comprises eight single-output regulated models providing a choice of 3.3 VDC, 5 VDC, 12 VDC, or 15 VDC output. The wide input voltage suits applications where the nominal input voltage might be different, or where wide voltage deviations are anticipated. Output regulation is quoted as better than 1% of stated output, meaning that no additional voltage regulation components are required, saving both cost and valuable board space. Input / output isolation of 1,500 VDC is standard across the range.
Safety features include continuous output short circuit protection and certification to the internationally recognized UL 60950 safety standard.
