Cosel PBB6A Series DC/DC Converter

Features

  • Wide DC Input Range for System Flexibility: Supports both 9–36 VDC and 18–76 VDC input variants, allowing reliable operation across 12 V, 24 V and 48 V nominal DC systems and simplifying standardisation in mixed‑voltage industrial installations.
  • Single and Dual Output Configurations: Available with regulated single outputs or dual outputs suitable for split‑rail or centre‑tapped applications, enabling compatibility with a broad range of industrial loads including PLCs, sensors and interface electronics.
  • Industrial DIN Rail Mounting Design: Supplied exclusively in a compact DIN rail‑mount enclosure with protective plastic cover, optimised for fast installation in control panels and electrical cabinets where space and accessibility are critical.
  • Integrated Electrical Protection and Isolation: Built‑in overcurrent and overvoltage protection helps safeguard connected equipment, while reinforced input‑to‑output isolation improves system safety and reduces conducted noise in industrial environments.
  • Remote ON/OFF for System Control: Remote ON/OFF functionality supports power sequencing, energy management and system‑level control, making the PBB6A Series suitable for automated and unattended installations.
  • Proven Industrial Reliability and Compliance: Designed for continuous operation up to +70 °C with appropriate derating, and certified to international safety standards with a 5‑year manufacturer warranty for long‑term industrial use.
