When it comes to high-performance power conversion, size and efficiency matter more than ever, especially in industries that push equipment to its limits. Enter the Calex 1KW FXP isolated DC-DC converter—a compact but powerful solution for engineers looking to deliver reliable power in mobile technology, process control, and even defence COTS applications.
So, what makes this converter stand out in a crowded field of power supplies? It all starts with its versatility. The 4:1 input voltage range ensures that this converter can seamlessly handle input fluctuations across a variety of settings, from 12V mobile systems to 28V military environments. No matter the challenge, the FXP series offers a reliable and consistent output.
And the benefits don’t stop there. For industries where performance simply cannot falter, this converter offers the ability to parallel up to three units for a total of 2.8kW of power. Thanks to a smart integrated droop method, current sharing is achieved without requiring a current share pin and space saving as there’s no need for additional electronics outside of the module to provide this functionality This lends itself to being the most size and weight efficient solution for applications requiring greater than 1000W of power output.
Compact Size, Big Power
One of the most impressive aspects of the FXP 1KW isolated DC-DC converter is its size. Measuring just 119.4 x 63.5 x 13.2 mm, it packs serious power into a small footprint, making it perfect for applications where space is at a premium. But don’t let its compact size fool you—it boasts efficiency levels up to 96% thanks to synchronous rectification technology. That means minimal energy wasted as heat and fewer cooling challenges for your system.
For environments with strict thermal and operational demands, the converter can easily integrate a heatsink for extended temperature ranges, keeping everything running smoothly, even in extreme conditions.
Built for the Toughest Applications
The Calex FXP series doesn’t just excel in efficiency and size—it’s built for reliability. It features a suite of protective measures, including over-current, short circuit, and over-temperature protection, ensuring that it continues to operate even in tough environments. This makes it an excellent choice for defence COTS applications, process control systems, and other critical infrastructure where power reliability is non-negotiable.
Its constant frequency operation ensures a smooth, monotonic start-up even into pre-biased loads, and the rugged metal case offers enhanced shock and vibration protection.
Future Trends and Applications
As industries evolve, so do the requirements for power supplies. The Calex 1KW FXP isolated DC-DC converter is well-positioned to meet future demands, especially with the growing need for higher power density, reduced heat generation, and reliability in mission-critical environments. With increasing use in mobile technologies and IoT devices, this converter’s small size and high output make it a forward-thinking solution.
