48Vin 12Vout 20A
Narrow Input, Isolated DC/DC Bus Converter
The BusQor
™
BQ50120QTA20 bus converter is a
next-generation, board-mountable, isolated, fixed
switching frequency dc/dc converter that uses synchro-
nous 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. The BusQor
series provides an isolated step down voltage from 48V
to a 12V intermediate bus with no regulation in a stan-
dard “quarter-brick” module. BusQor converters are
ideal for customers who need multiple outputs and wish
to build or buy point of load converters to work with a
12V rail.

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

Note 1: UL's product certification tests were carried out using 20A fast blow fuse. Fuse interruption characteristics have to be taken into account
while designing input traces. User should ensure that Input trace is capable of withstanding fault currents until fuse blows.
Note 2: For applications requiring reduced output voltage ripple and noise, consult SynQor applications support (e-mail: support@synqor.com)
Note 3: For modules with isolation voltage rating of 2250V, order the Feature Set option C. See back page for ordering details.
Note 4: Higher values of isolation capacitance can be added external to the module.
