Description
The FW050H, FW100H, and FW150H Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an input voltage
range of 36 Vdc to 72 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated dc output. The outputs are fully isolated from the
inputs, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have maximum
power ratings from 50 W to 150 W at a typical full-load efficiency of 86%.
Built-in filtering, for both the input and output of each device, eliminates the need for external filters. Two or more
modules may be paralleled with forced load sharing for redundant or enhanced power applications. The
package, which mounts on a printed-circuit board, accommodates a heat sink for high-temperature applications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device 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, dc fuse with a maximum rating of 20 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.
