Half Brick
Single Output
The RPA120H series are high power, 110VDC wide input range 120W DC/DC converters in an
industry standard half brick format. Despite their low cost, the RPA120H converters are fully specified
devices with output currents up to 8.3Amps, up to 88.5% efficiency, no minimum load,
3kVDC isolation, tight regulation and low ripple/noise figures. The trimmable outputs are also fully
protected against over-temperature, short circuits, overcurrent and overvoltage. The converters are
UL60950-1 and IEC/EN60950-1 certified and EN50155 pending and will find many uses in cost
sensitive railway and industrial applications.

OUTPUT TRIM
Output Voltage Trimming
RPA120H-RW 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.
