A fully potted and metal cased construction makes the Artesyn AXA series an ideal choice for harsh environments and enables the modules to operate between minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius. An optional clip-on heat sink is available to extend the thermal performance of the unit in a convection or forced-air environment.

Artesyn AXA series modules cover an ultra-wide 4:1 input voltage range of 9 to 36Vdc and 18 to 75Vdc. The first models available offer single output models with voltages of 3.3, 5, 12, 15 and 24V along with dual output models offering +/- 12 or 15 V, all with tight output voltage regulation. Enclosed in a 1.0 x 1.0 x 0.4 inch (25.4 x 25.4 x 10.16 mm) package, the Artesyn AXA series offers up to 89 percent efficiency.

The converters offer additional features such as overload protection, remote on/off control, input-to-output isolation voltage of 1500Vdc, and the output voltage can be trimmed by +/- 10 percent of the nominal output. All models are approved to CSA/NTRL/IEC/EN 60950-1 for IT equipment.
