Introducing the RQB150W12 Series: 150W 1/4 Brick 14~160Vdc Ultra-Wide Input Railway DC/DC Converter

MEAN WELL has long been a leader in railway telematics, providing a range of solutions from 8W to 500W encapsulated modules, enclosed types, and DIN rail types. These products have been widely praised across the industry for their reliability and performance. To further address the growing demand for devices with wider voltage input ranges, we are proud to introduce our latest innovation: the RQB150W12 series. This new encapsulated module features a 1/4 brick form factor, delivering 150W of power with an impressive 12:1 (14~160Vdc) ultra-wide voltage input range.

Key Features of the RQB150W12 Series

  • Ultra-Wide Input Range: The 12:1 (14~160Vdc) input range covers the mainstream nominal voltages of global railway systems, including 24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 96V, and 110Vdc, making it highly versatile for various applications.

  • Robust Encapsulation: The fully encapsulated internal module is designed to be shock-proof, dust-proof, and moisture-proof, ensuring durability in harsh environments.

  • Extreme Temperature Resilience: Capable of operating in a wide temperature range from -40℃ to +90℃, this series can withstand extreme environmental conditions.

  • High Isolation Capability: With an input/output isolation that withstands voltages up to 3KVac, the RQB150W12 series ensures high safety standards and reliable operation.

  • Comprehensive Protection Features: This series includes multiple protection mechanisms such as Short Circuit, Overload, Overvoltage, Over Temperature, and Input Undervoltage protections to safeguard against various electrical issues.

  • Enhanced Hold-Up Time: The design allows for the addition of an external capacitor, which can ensure the hold-up time lasts between 10 to 30 milliseconds during temporary DC input instability, providing greater reliability.

  • Remote ON/OFF Control: Facilitates easy and efficient remote operation, adding convenience for users.

  • Adjustable Output Voltage: The output voltage can be adjusted by ± 10%, providing flexibility to meet specific application needs.

  • Compliance and Certifications: The RQB150W12 series meets several key standards, including EN50155/EN50121-3-2 for railway applications, and IEC62368-1, EAC, CE, UKCA for Information Technology Equipment (ITE).

  • Compact and Low Profile Design: The ultra-thin, low profile design measures just 57.9 x 36.8 x 12.7 mm, allowing for easy integration into space-constrained applications.

  • Extended Warranty: Backed by a 3-year warranty, ensuring peace of mind and long-term reliability.
