Read MoreThe Cincon CQB50W8 CMFC(D) Series is a rugged range of 50 W isolated DC/DC converters designed to deliver reliable auxiliary power from wide and fluctuating DC input sources. Featuring an 8:1 ultra-wide input range, the series provides stable, fully regulated DC output even under challenging supply conditions.
Operating from a 9.5–75 Vdc input range (36 Vdc nominal), the CQB50W8 series is available with single output voltage options from 12 Vdc to 48 Vdc, offering flexibility across a variety of low-voltage power requirements. High efficiency of up to 90%, combined with low no-load power consumption, helps minimise heat generation and improve overall system efficiency.
The converters use a chassis-mount, baseplate-cooled design for completely fanless operation and long service life. Comprehensive electrical protection, high isolation strength, and compliance with international safety and EMC standards make the CQB50W8 CMFC(D) Series a dependable choice for demanding power conversion applications.
