Description
The QHHD019A0B [HAMMERHEAD*] Series, quarter-brick, low-height power modules are isolated dc-dc converters which provide a
single, precisely regulated output voltage over an ultra-wide input voltage range of 18-75V
dc
. The QHHD019A0B provides 12V
dc
nominal output voltage rated for 19A
dc
output current. The module incorporates GE’s vast heritage for reliability and quality, while
also using the latest in technology, and component and process standardization to achieve highly competitive cost. The open frame
module construction, enable designers to develop cost and space efficient solutions. The module achieves typical full load efficiency
greater than 93% at V
IN
=24V
dc
and V
IN
=48V
dc
. Standard features include remote On/Off, remote sense, output voltage adjustment,
overvoltage, overcurrent and over temperature protection. An optional heat plate allows for external standard, quarter-brick heat
sink attachment to achieve higher output current in high temperature applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Data Sheet
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings
only, functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations
sections of the technical requirement. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect the device
reliability.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to being part of
complex power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety
and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 25A
(voltage rating 125Vac) in the ungrounded input lead
.
