Safety Approvals
Design for Environment
The PKJ 4000E series of high efficiency DC/DC converters
are designed to provide high quality on-board power
solutions in distributed power architectures used
in Internetworking equipment in wireless and wired
communications applications.
The PKJ 4000E series has industry standard half brick
footprint and pin-out and is only 8.5 mm (0.33 in) high.
This makes it extremely well suited for narrow board pitch
applications with board spacing down to 15 mm (0.6
in). The PKJ 4000E series uses patented synchronous
rectification technology and achieves an efficiency up to
89% at full load. Ericsson's PKJ 4000E series addresses
the emerging telecom market for applications in the multi-
service network by specifying the input voltage range in
accordance with ETSI specifications.
Included as standard features are output over-voltage
protection, input under-voltage protection, over
temperature protection, soft-start, output short circuit
protection, remote sense, remote control, and output
voltage adjust function.
These converters are designed to meet high reliability
requirements and are manufactured in highly automated
manufacturing lines and meet world-class quality levels.
Ericsson Power Modules is an ISO 9001/14001 certified
supplier.

Note:
Stress in excess of Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage. Absolute Maximum Ratings, sometimes referred to as
no destruction limits, are normally tested with one parameter at a time exceeding the limits of Output data or Electrical Characteristics. If
exposed to stress above these limits, function and performance may degrade in an unspecified manner.

The PKJ 4000 E series DC/DC
converters are designed in accordance
with safety standards IEC/EN/UL 60
950, Safety
of Information Technology
Equipment. The PKJ 4000 E series
DC/DC converters are UL 60 950
recognized and certified in accordance
with EN 60 950.
The DC/DC converter should be
installed in the end-use equipment,
in accordance with the requirements
of the ultimate application. The input
source must be isolated by minimum
Basic insulation from the primary circuit
in accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60
950. If the input voltage to the DC/DC
converter is 75 V dc or less, then the
output remains SELV (Safety Extra Low
Voltage) under normal and abnormal
operating conditions. Single fault testing
in the input power supply circuit should
be performed with the DC/DC converter
connected to demonstrate that the
input voltage does not exceed 75 V dc.
If the input power source circuit is a
DC power system, the source may be
treated as a TNV2 circuit and testing
has demonstrated compliance with
SELV limits and isolation requirements
equivalent to Basic insulation in
accordance with IEC/EN/UL 60 950.
It is recommended that a fast blow fuse
with a rating of 10A be used at the input
of each DC/DC converter. The PKJ se-
ries DC/DC converters are approved for
a maximum fuse rating of 15A. If a fault
occurs in the converter that imposes
a short circuit on the input source, this
fuse will provide the following functions:
•
Isolate the faulty DC/DC converter
from the input power source not to
affect the operation of other parts of
the system.
•
Protect the distribution wiring from
excessive current and power loss
thus preventing hazardous overhea-
ting.
The galvanic isolation is verified in an
electric strength test. The test voltage
(V
ISO
) between input and output is 1500
Vdc for 60 seconds. Leakage current is
less than 1uA at nominal input voltage.
The flammability rating for all
construction parts of the DC/DC
converter meets UL 94V-0.
