Description
The K Series of DC-DC and AC-DC converters represents a
broad and flexible range of power supplies for use in advanced
electronic systems. Features include high efficiency, high
reliability, low output voltage noise and excellent dynamic
response to load/line changes. LK models can be powered by
DC or AC with a wide-input frequency range (without PFC).
The converter inputs are protected against surges and
transients. An input over- and undervoltage lockout circuitry
disables the outputs, if the input voltage is outside of the
specified range. Certain types include an inrush current limiter
preventing circuit breakers and fuses from tripping at switch-
on.
All outputs are open- and short-circuit proof, and are protected
against overvoltages by means of built-in suppressor diodes.
The output can be inhibited by a logic signal applied to pin 18
(i). The inhibit function is not used, pin 18 must be connected
with pin 14 to enable the outputs.
LED indicators display the status of the converter and allow for
visual monitoring of the system at any time.
Full input-to-output, input-to-case, output-to-case, and output
to output isolation is provided. The converters are designed,
built, and safety-approved to the international safety standards
IEC/EN 60950-1. They are particulary suitable for railway
applications and comply with EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2.
The case design allows operation at nominal load up to 71 °C
with natural cooling. If forced cooling is provided, the ambient
temperature may exceed 71 °C, but the case temperature must
remain below 95 °C.
A temperature sensor generates an inhibit signal, which
disables the outputs when the case temperature
T
C
exceeds
the limit. The outputs are automatically re-enabled, when the
temperature drops below the limit.
Various options are available to adapt the converters to
individual applications.
The converters may either be plugged into a 19 " DIN-rack
system according to IEC 60297-3, or be chassis mounted.
Important:
For applications requiring compliance with IEC/EN
61000-3-2 (harmonic distortion), please use our LK4000 or
LK5000 Series with incorporated power factor correction (PFC).

K Series Data Sheet
150 Watt DC-DC and AC-DC Converters
Functional Description
The input voltage is fed via an input fuse, an input filter, a bridge
rectifier (LK models only), and an inrush current limiter to the
input capacitor. This capacitor sources a single-transistor
forward converter with a special clamping circuit and provides
also the power during the hold-up time.
Each output is powered by a separate secondary winding of the
main transformer. The resultant voltages are rectified and their
ripple smoothed by a power choke and an output filter. The
control logic senses the main output voltage
V
o1
and
generates, with respect to the maximum admissible output
currents, the control signal for the switching transistor of the
forward converter.
The second output of double-output models is tracking the
main output, but has its own current limiting circuit. If the main
output voltage drops due to current limitation, the second
output voltage will fall as well and vice versa.
Standard models with a single 5.1 V output have a syn-
chronous rectifier to provide good efficiency.

Valid for -7 versions without option E (-9 versions exclude NTC). This is the nominal value at 25 °C and applies to cold converters at initial
switch-on cycle. Subsequent switch-on/off cycles increase the inrush current peak value.
For 1 s max.
Rated input voltage range is 100 – 240 VAC (nominal 230 VAC). Nominal frequency range is 50 – 60 Hz; operating frequency range is 47
– 440 Hz (440 Hz for 115 V mains). For frequencies
≥
63 Hz, refer to
