A new generation of compact DC/DC converters by Traco Power is raising efficiency and flexibility standards for industrial power systems. The TEC 6UI series delivers 6 watts of output power in a miniature SIP-8 package while offering an ultra-wide 8:1 input voltage range—from 9 to 75 VDC. This broad compatibility allows engineers to streamline system designs across multiple input sources without relying on different converter variants.

The key features are:

  • Serves as a drop-in alternative for traditional 2:1 and 4:1 input converters
  • Designed for industrial, instrumentation, and communication applications
  • Supports wide input range (9–75 VDC) for greater design flexibility
  • Covers standard bus voltages: 12, 24, 36, and 48 VDC
  • Ideal for systems with fluctuating or unstable power sources

Reliability and protection are central to the converter’s design. Each unit integrates short-circuit protection, overcurrent limitation, and undervoltage lockout, ensuring stable and secure operation in harsh environments. The converters are also equipped with a remote ON/OFF feature for power management and control flexibility.

Thermal and mechanical resilience further enhance the TEC 6UI’s appeal. Certified under IEC/EN/UL 62368-1 safety standards, the converters are rated for operation from –40°C to +80°C and can perform at altitudes up to 5000 meters. This rugged profile supports applications in elevated or outdoor environments where temperature extremes and reduced air density challenge power stability.

The compact SIP-8 plastic case minimizes board footprint while maintaining electrical isolation of 1600 VDC between input and output, supporting system safety and signal integrity. Available in both single and dual output versions, the TEC 6UI family simplifies integration into a range of architectures, from control systems to distributed industrial power modules. With a three-year product warranty and a design focused on reliability, performance, and cost-efficiency, the TEC 6UI series provides a robust solution for next-generation industrial and embedded power designs where space, versatility, and dependability matter most.
