Description
The LW020 Single-Output-Series Power Modules are
low-profile dc-dc converters that operate over an
input voltage range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide
precisely regulated outputs. The outputs are isolated
from the input, allowing versatile polarity configura-
tions and grounding connections. Built-in filtering for
both input and output minimizes the need for external
filtering. The modules have a maximum power rating
of 20 W at a typical full-load efficiency of up to 85%.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the devices. These are
absolute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the devices is not implied at these or any other conditions in
excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for
extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fus-
ing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse.
The safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 5 A (see Safety Considerations
section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the
same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data for further information.
