This document describes the features and characteristics of the Powerline-DC/DC Converter E-Series products launched by Recom International in August 2002, including 60W, 1.6kV isolation, and wide input range (single and dual output), 2:1 input range, efficiency up to 90%, low profile case, ON/OFF control, over-voltage protection, six-sided shield, Pi input filter, etc.
The POWERLINE E-Series from RECOM offers 60 W DC/DC converters with up to 1.6 kV isolation and a wide input voltage range. Models are available for 9‑18 V, 18‑36 V, and 36‑75 V inputs, delivering single or dual outputs such as 3.3 V, 5 V, 12 V, and 15 V.
Key features include up to 90 % efficiency, on/off control, over‑voltage protection, and a low‑profile 19 mm case. The converters operate from –25 °C to +71 °C, have a typical switching frequency of 200 kHz, and meet a minimum isolation voltage of 600 VDC. Dimensions are 100 × 70 × 19 mm and the units are backed by a 2‑year warranty.
