Description
The RP15-FW series wide range input DC/DC converters are certified to UL 60950-1 and to cUL 60950-
1. This makes them ideal for all telecom and industrial applications where approved safety standards
are required. The industry standard 2” x 1” package meets military standards for thermal shock and
vibration tolerance.

Notes:
Note3: Standard part is without suffixes and CTRL pin isn’t fitted
add suffix “P” for CTRL function with positive logic (1=ON, 0=OFF)
add suffix “N” for CTRL function with negative logic (0=ON, 1=OFF)
Note4: add suffix -HC for premounted Heat-sink and clips
Notes:
Note1: Maximum value at nominal input voltage and full load.
Note2: Test by minimum Vin and constant resistor load.
