48Vin 1.2Vout 40A
40 Amp, No Heatsink, Isolated DC/DC Converter
The PQ60012QTA40 PowerQor™ Tera quarter-brick
converter is a next-generation, board-mountable,
isolated, fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter
that uses synchronous rectification to achieve extremely
high conversion efficiency. The power dissipated by the
converter is so low that a heatsink is not required,
which saves cost, weight, height, and application effort.
All of the power and control components are mounted
to the multi-layer PCB substrate with high-yield surface
mount technology. Since the PowerQor converter has
no explicit thermal connections, it is extremely reliable.
The Tera series offers the maximum useable output cur-
rent for any standard “quarter-brick” module.
PQ60012QTA40 Module
Operational Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 87% at 20 amp load, 82% at
40 amp load current
• Delivers up to 40 amps of output current with mini-
mal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35V – 75V, with 100V
100ms input voltage transient withstand
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI
performance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload
resistors required
Protection Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at
low input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection
protects converter from excessive load current or
short circuits
• Output over-voltage protection protects load from
damaging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnor-
mal environmental conditions
Mechanical Features
• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 1.45” x 2.3”
• Total height less than 0.43”, permits better airflow
and smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 42 grams (1.5 oz.), lower mass great-
ly reduces vibration and shock problems
Safety Features
• 2000V, 10 MΩ input-to-output isolation provides
input/output ground separation
• UL/cUL 60950 recognized (US & Canada), basic
insulation rating
• TUV certified to EN60950
• Meets 72/23/EEC and 93/68/EEC directives
which facilitates CE Marking in user’s end product
• Board and plastic components meet UL94V-0 flam-
mability requirements
Control Features
• On/Off control referenced to input side (positive
and negative logic options are available)
• Remote sense for the output voltage compensates
for output distribution drops
• Output voltage trim permits custom voltages and
voltage margining

NOTES
1) Pins 1-3, 5-7 are 0.040” (1.02mm) diameter with
0.080” (2.03 mm) diameter standoff shoulders.
2) Pins 4 and 8 are 0.062” (1.57 mm) diameter with
0.100” (2.54 mm) diameter standoff shoulders.
3) Other pin extension lengths available. Recommended pin
length is 0.03” (0.76mm) greater than the PCB thickness.
4) All Pins: Material - Copper Alloy
Finish - Tin/Lead over Nickel plate
5) Undimensioned components are shown for visual
reference only.
6) All dimensions in inches (mm)
Tolerances: x.xx +/-0.02 in. (x.x +/-0.5mm)
x.xxx +/-0.010 in. (x.xx +/-0.25mm)
7) Weight: 1.5 oz. (42 g) typical
8) Workmanship: Meets or exceeds IPC-A-610C Class II
9)
UL/TUV standards require a clearance greater than 0.04”
(1.02mm) between input and output for Basic insulation. This
issue should be considered if any copper traces are on the top
side of the user’s board. Note that the ferrite cores are consid-
ered part of the input/primary circuit.
