Industrial Automation Power Solutions

For 24V industrial systems, Cincon offers converters with appropriate input ranges: 4:1 range (9-36V): EC4A series handles full 24V variations including transients

2:1 range (18-36V): EC2A/EC6A series for stable 24V systems. Industrial 24V systems typically vary from 20V to 30V under normal operation, with transients up to 36V during load switching. The 4:1 range converters provide the most flexibility, handling both undervoltage and overvoltage conditions without additional protection. For systems with severe voltage transients, consider adding external TVS protection. Contact our FAE team for 24V system design assistance.

Use 4:1 range (9-36V) for variable 24V systems, 2:1 range (18-36V) for stable 24V. Contact us for design assistance.

The 1500VDC isolation in Cincon industrial converters provides multiple benefits: Noise immunity isolates sensitive circuits from electrical noise on the 24V bus, which often carries switching transients from contactors, relays, and motor drives. Ground loop prevention allows different ground potentials between system sections without causing interference or damage. Safety protection provides isolation between input and output circuits for operator safety. EMI reduction minimizes conducted emissions and improves EMC compliance. In industrial environments, the 24V bus can have significant noise from switching loads. The 1500V isolation ensures clean, stable power to sensitive control circuits. This is particularly important for analog sensors, communication circuits, and microprocessor-based controls.

1500V isolation provides noise immunity and safety. Essential for industrial environments. Contact us for isolation requirements.

Cincon industrial converters have MTBF ratings of 1.8 to 2 million hours at 25°C per MIL-HDBK-217F. MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) is a statistical measure of reliability: 2M hour MTBF = 0.5 failures per million hours = 0.044% annual failure rate. This translates to exceptional field reliability - in 1000 converters operating continuously, expect less than 0.5 failures per year. Factors affecting actual reliability include operating temperature (MTBF decreases at high temperature), electrical stress (derating improves reliability), environmental conditions (vibration, humidity), and application conditions (transients, overloads). For critical applications, consider redundancy or use converters at 50-70% of rated load to further improve reliability. Contact our FAE team for reliability analysis.

2M hour MTBF provides excellent reliability. Use derating for critical applications. Contact us for reliability analysis.

Yes, Cincon EC series converters are designed for harsh industrial environments including outdoor installations: Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C without derating, suitable for outdoor temperature extremes. The SIP/DIP packages are sealed and protected against moisture and contamination. High isolation (1500VDC) handles voltage transients common in outdoor installations. MTBF ratings account for industrial environmental stress. For outdoor applications, consider enclosure IP rating for moisture protection, conformal coating for additional PCB protection, thermal management for high-temperature operation, and surge protection for lightning/transient protection. Many Cincon converters are successfully deployed in outdoor industrial applications including traffic control, renewable energy, and remote monitoring systems.

Suitable for outdoor use with proper enclosure. Consider IP rating and surge protection. Contact us for outdoor design.

Cincon industrial converters include comprehensive protection features: Short circuit protection provides continuous protection with automatic recovery - converter current-limits during short and resumes normal operation when removed. Overload protection activates at 150-200% of rated load with automatic recovery. Overvoltage protection on some models prevents output overvoltage conditions. Overtemperature protection shuts down converter if internal temperature exceeds safe limits, with automatic restart when cooled. Input undervoltage lockout prevents operation at insufficient input voltage. These protection features ensure reliable operation and prevent damage from fault conditions. The automatic recovery features minimize system downtime. For severe industrial environments, additional external protection may be recommended.

Comprehensive protection included. Automatic recovery minimizes downtime. Contact us for protection requirements.

Cincon offers SIP (Single In-line Package) and DIP (Dual In-line Package) options for many converters: SIP packages have pins in single row, more compact size, better for automated assembly, and smaller PCB footprint. DIP packages have pins in two rows, easier for manual soldering, more stable mechanical mounting, and wider body for better heat dissipation. Selection criteria include assembly method (SIP for automated, DIP for manual), PCB space (SIP more compact), thermal requirements (DIP slightly better), and mechanical stability (DIP more stable). Electrical performance is identical between packages. Thermal performance is similar - both operate at -40°C to +85°C. Cost difference is minimal. Many designers use DIP for prototypes and early production, then switch to SIP for high-volume automated assembly.

SIP for automated assembly and compact designs. DIP for manual assembly and prototypes. Contact us for recommendations.
