Quarter-brick
DC/DC Converter
The PQ60240QGA05 PowerQor
®
Giga quarter-brick
converter is a next-generation, board-mountable, isolated,
fixed switching frequency DC/DC converter. 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 interfaces, it is extremely reliable.
The Giga series offers the maximum useable output
current for any standard “quarter-brick” module. RoHS
Compliant see last page.
Operational
Features
• Ultra-high efficiency, 92% at full rated load current
• Delivers up to 5 amps of output current (120W) with
minimal derating - no heatsink required
• Wide input voltage range: 35 - 75 V, with 100 V
100ms input voltage transient capability
• Fixed frequency switching provides predictable EMI per-
formance
• No minimum load requirement means no preload resis-
tors required
PQ60240QGA05 Module
Protection
Features
• Input under-voltage lockout disables converter at low
input voltage conditions
• Output current limit and short circuit protection protects
converter and load from permanent damage and conse-
quent hazardous conditions
• Active back bias limit prevents damage to converter
from external load induced pre-bias
• Output over-voltage protection protects load from dam-
aging voltages
• Thermal shutdown protects converter from abnormal
environmental conditions
Mechanical
Features
• Industry standard quarter-brick pin-out configuration
• Industry standard size: 1.45” x 2.3” (36.8x58.4mm)
• Total height less than 0.43” (10.9mm), permits better
airflow and smaller card pitch
• Total weight: 1.5 oz. (42 grams)
• Flanged pins designed to permit surface mount soldering
(allows to avoiding wave solder) using FPiP technique
Safety
Features
• 2000V, 30 MW input-to-output isolation provides input/
output ground separation
• UL/cUL 60950-1 recognized (US & Canada), basic
insulation rating
• TUV certified to EN60950-1
• 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 flammabil-
ity 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

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 (RoHS 6/6) - Matte Tin 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 considered part of the input/
primary circuit.

Note 1: Line and load regulation is limited by duty cycle quantization and does not indicate a shift in the internal voltage reference.
Note 2: For applications requiring reduced output voltage ripple and noise, consult SynQor applications support (e-mail: support@synqor.com).
Note 3: Higher values of isolation capacitance can be added external to the module.
