Description
The RPP20 series 2:1 input range DC/DC converters are ideal for high end industrial
applications and COTS Military applications where a very wide operating temperature
range of -40°C to +115°C is required. Although the case size is very compact, the
converter contains a built-in filter EN55022 Class B / FCC Level B without the need for
any external components. The RPP20 is available in two case styles: the ribbed case for
active cooling and the baseplate case for high vibration, bulkhead-mounting or for pas-
sive cooling applications. They are UL-60950-1 certified.

Notes :
1. Typical values at nominal input voltage and no load/full load.
2. Min. values at nominal input voltage and full load.
3. The ON/OFF pin voltage is referenced to negative input. The pin is pulled high internally.
ON/OFF control is standard with positive logic: e.g. RPP20-2405S, RPP20-4805D-B.
Pos. logic: 0= OFF, 1 = ON. The converter will be ON if the CTRL is left open.
4. Requires an external 100µF low ESR capacitor to meet EN61000-4-4 and EN61000-4-5
5. Case l: 50% Stress, Temperature at 50°C (Ground Benign).
6. To ensure a good all-round electrical contact, the bottom plate is pressed firmly into place into the aluminium case.The hydraulic press can leave
tooling marks and deformations to both the case and plate. The case is anodised aluminium, so there will be natural variations in the case colour and
the aluminium is not scratch resistant. Any resultant marks, scratches and colour varations are cosmetic only and do not affect the operation or
performance of the converters.

Input Fuse is recommended. Recommended fuse rating = double maximum input current, time delay type.
Input Capacitor, C1, is required to meet EN61000 Surge and Fast Transient, otherwise it is not required for normal operation.
Output Capacitors C2/C3 are recommended, but not required for normal operation. Typical capacitor values are 1µF MLCC
To ensure optimum thermal performance, use large areas of copper on the PCB to assist with heat dissipation and mount the converter vertically.
