DPA424GN

Special Purpose Regulators Overview

The DPA424GN is an isolated DC-DC converter from the DPA-Switch family, designed for surface-mount applications. It accepts a wide input voltage range of 16 V to 75 V and provides a single fixed output channel at 16 V with a maximum current of 3 mA. The device delivers up to 35 W of output power and operates within a temperature range of -40 °C to +150 °C. Packaged in an 8-SMD form factor measuring 9.32 mm by 6.1 mm by 3.18 mm, it supports SMD/SMT installation styles.

Special Purpose Regulators Feature Summary

• Integrates high-voltage switching capabilities within a compact surface-mount package
• Provides galvanic isolation between input and output circuits
• Supports wide input voltage ranges suitable for diverse power sources

Special Purpose Regulators Applications

• Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE) systems
• Telecommunications power supplies
• Industrial DC-DC conversion modules

Special Purpose Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix configuration against official datasheets to confirm pinout and thermal characteristics. Ensure compatibility with moisture sensitivity levels during storage and reflow processes. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with distributor listings to avoid counterfeit components. Confirm RoHS compliance status for regulatory adherence in target markets.

Special Purpose Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when designing isolated converters requiring wide input voltage tolerance and high-temperature operation. The fixed 16 V output suits specific downstream logic or signaling requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs given the high maximum operating temperature rating. Consider the 8-SMD footprint constraints during PCB layout phase.

Special Purpose Regulators Part Context

This model belongs to the DPA424 series, which includes variants like DPA424PN for through-hole mounting. The GN suffix denotes the surface-mount package type. It shares functional similarities with other DPA-Switch devices but differs in physical packaging and thermal dissipation characteristics compared to its DIP counterparts.

Special Purpose Regulators Replacement Considerations

DPA424PN serves as a through-hole alternative within the same family. Verify pin compatibility and thermal performance before substitution. Other DPA42x series members may offer different power ratings or output voltages.
