Description
The RPR20 series DC/DC converters are designed for railway rolling stock applications.
Besides covering all the input voltages from 24VDC up to 110VDC, the converters have a
very wide operating temperature range of -45°C to +85°C without derating. Although the
case size is very compact, the converter contains a built-in EMI filter, so no active external
filter components are required. The RPR20 is available in three case styles: a low profile flat
top case, a ribbed case with a built-in heatsink and the baseplate case for high vibration or
bulkhead mounting applications. They are EN 50155 and EN 50121-3-2 compliant.

* ICE Technology
ICE (Innovation in Converter
Excellence) uses state-of-
the-art techniques to
minimise internal power
dissipation and to increase
the internal temperature
limits to extend the am-
bient operating temperature
range to the maximum.
Refer to Application Notes
** add suffix “-F“ for low profile Flat case or “-B“ for Baseplate case and no suffix is the Ribbed case.
add “1“ before suffix for neg. CTRL logic e.g. -1, -1B, -1F, etc.

To ensure optimum thermal
performance, use large areas
of copper on the PCB to assist
with heat dissipation and
mount the converter vertically.

Notes :
1. The ON/OFF pin voltage is referenced to negative input. The pin is pulled high internally.
ON/OFF control is standard with positive logic: e.g. RPR20-2405S, RPR20-4805D-B.
Add “1” before the suffix for negative logic: e.g. RPR20-2405S-1, RPR20-11005D-1B.
Positive logic: 0= OFF, 1 = ON. The converter will be ON if the CTRL is left open.
Negative logic: 1 = OFF, 0 = ON. The converter will be OFF if the CTRL is left open..
2. To ensure a good all-round electrical contact, the baseplate is pressed firmly into place within the aluminium housing.The hydraulic
press can leave tooling marks and deformations to both the housing and baseplate. The case is anodised aluminium, so there will be
natural variations in the case colour and the aluminium is not scratch resistant. Any resultant marks, scratches and colour varations are
cosmetic only and do not affect the operation or performance of the converters.
3. The converter is supplied with a protective adhesive tape to keep the top surface clean. The tape is heat resistant and the converter can
be soldered into place without removing the tape. The tape should be removed just before final installation.
