Second generation DC/DC converter targets e-mobility
The second generation of 4kW liquid cooled DC/DC converters from Bel Power Solutions, the 700DNG40-24-8, creates DC voltages in hybrid and electric vehicles suitable to power low voltage accessories and replacing a traditional alternator.
The converter is smaller than its predecessor, the 700DNC40-24-8G, and operates at a wider input voltage range from 450 to 900V DC to deliver up to 4000W of output power. The compact design weighs just 4.5kg, making it suitable for confined spaces in a variety of deployments in construction, mining, bus and trucking, along with marine and ground support equipment.
The 700DNG40-24-8 has high efficiency of up to 95 per cent and is reliable with low output voltage noise and excellent dynamic response to load/input changes, said Bel Fuse. The 700DNG40-24-8 converter can be operated in parallel with up to eight units, and includes optional UDS functionality, CAN FD and cybersecurity.
The 700DNG40-24-8 DC/DC converter is available immediately. It will be exhibited at the Battery Show North America in Novi, Michigan (12 to 14 September) on the company’s booth #936.
It is available through distributors, Digikey and Mouser.
Bel designs, manufactures and markets a broad array of products that includes circuit protection, connectors, cable assemblies, discrete components, magnetics and power supplies. The company operates facilities around the world.
