VTC240 Series DC/DC Converter

BENEFITS

  • Ultra-Quiet
  • Economical
  • Rugged & Reliable

The VTC140 and VTC240 Voltage Converters are variable duty cycle switching power supplies incorporating state of the art switchmode technology for unmatched efficiency and ultra-quiet operation.

Multiple stages of filtering reduce radiated or conducted noise to very low levels. They can be run from a 24 VDC or 28 VDC battery system. Safety features include reverse input protection, current limiting, and output overvoltage crowbar.

We are confident that you will get many years of reliable service from these Voltage Converters.
