DC/DC Converter
RPA50S-W
50Watt
1/16 Brick
Single Output
The RPA50S is a low cost 50W DC/DC converter in industry standard 1/16th brick format
(33mm x 23mm) and pinning. The 4:1 input range covers 24V, 28V or 48V nominal input voltages
and the output voltage options are 3.3V, 5V or 12V with +10%/-20% trim. Output power is 40W from
18-75V or 50W from 36-75V. The efficiency is particularly high (88-91%) to permit full load operation
from -40°C up to +54°C ambient temperature with only free air convection and up to 85°C with forced
air cooling. The isolation voltage is 2.25kVDC/1 minute (basic insulation grade). Applications include
demanding industrial power supplies, telecom and PoE circuits.

OUTPUT VOLTAGE TRIMMING
Output Voltage Trimming
RPA50S-W converters offer the feature of trimming the output voltage over a certain range around the nominal value by using external trim
resistors. The values for trim resistors shown in trim tables below are according to standard E96 values; therefore, the specified voltage may
slightly vary; they also can be calculated with below shown equation.
