Two-Watt DC-DC with 50% Lower Profile than Industry Norm

Murata has announced the NXE2 series of 2-Watt surface-mounted dc-dc converters from Murata Power Solutions. Footprint compatible with similar 1- and 2-Watt devices available on the market, and measuring 12.5 x 4.36 x 10.41 mm, the NXE2 series provides more power output in the same space. The converter is constructed using fully automated techniques in a halogen free iLGA inspectable package with an integrated transformer. This approach increases product reliability and repeatability of converter performance.

The series comprises four models with nominal input voltages of +5 or +12 Vdc and outputs of +5, +12 or +15 Vdc. Input to output isolation of 3 kVdc is standard across the range.

Ann-Marie Bayliss, product marketing manager, Murata Power Solutions comments, “The NXE2 series represents a 2 Watt halogen free converter in a footprint that has a 50% lower profile.”

The NXE2 series is suitable for use in industrial automation, instrumentation, and transportation equipment. It is also intended for use in telecom, wireless, and medical designs that require a low power isolated dc voltage. Certification to UL60950 and medical safety is pending.
