Series LF/LM

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The LF/LM series by Pico Electronics are compact, isolated DC-DC converters with a half brick size (2.4" x 2.3"). They support a wide input voltage range from 18V to 380V and output voltages from 3.3V to 200V, delivering up to 75W of power. These converters include input/output isolation, integrated side heat sinks, and options for parallel operation, suitable for industrial and military temperature ranges.

  • Output voltage range: 3.3V to 200V
  • Output power up to 75W
  • Integrated side heat sink
  • Trim capability and remote shutdown
  • Fixed operating frequency
  • No external components required
Protections
  • Input overvoltage protection
  • Output short-circuit protection
  • Output overvoltage protection
  • Overtemperature protection with self-recovery
Specifications
  • Operating frequency: 100 kHz
  • Isolation voltage: 4242 VDC
  • Operating temperature range: -40°C to +85°C (LF), -55°C to +85°C (LM)
  • Storage temperature range: -55°C to +105°C
  • Cooling: Conduction through baseplate
Model Variants
Models are categorized by input voltage ranges (18-36V, 36-72V, 100-180V, 200-380V) with detailed specifications for each, including output voltage, current, power, efficiency, and regulation characteristics.
Options and Standards
  • Meets MIL-STD-202 for vibration, shock, humidity, and altitude
  • Optional screening per MIL-STD-883
Thermal Management
Thermal resistance data is provided for different cooling scenarios. Derating graphs illustrate power output capabilities across temperature ranges.
Specifications
Models offer maximum output power of 75W and 50W, with efficiencies from 82% to 85% at full load. Derating graphs show power output relative to ambient temperature under various cooling conditions.
Connection Circuits
Typical circuits are provided for noise reduction and parallel shutdown configurations. Recommendations include using a 1MΩ multi-turn trimmer potentiometer for resistance adjustments.
Mechanical Drawings
Detailed drawings specify pin functions, dimensions, and recommended torque for mounting screws. Heat sink assembly instructions are included.
Thermal Interface
The LTI thermal interface is made of alloy aluminum, designed to enhance heat dissipation with LCH and LCV heat sinks.
Warranty
Pico Electronics offers a one-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, excluding usage outside specifications or in nuclear, radioactive, or space environments.

Series LF/LM-1

The LF/LM series are isolated DC-DC converters with a wide selection of input voltage ranges from 18V to 380V in a compact half brick size foot print - 2.4" x 2.3". These modules have trim capability and shutdown features. Protections include input overvoltage, output short-circuit, output overvoltage and over temperature. The unique case has integrated side heat sink for better thermal dissipation but is capable of conduction cooling through the baseplate or additional top mounted heat sink. Contact Pico for part number of available options: Stabilization Bake Temperature Cycle Burn-In • Special Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Isolation Voltage or Output Power • Parallel Operation • 18V to 380V input range models • Input/output isolation • Integrated side heat sink • Parallel operation option • Single and dual isolated outputs • Industrial temperature option -40°C (LF) • Military temperature option -55°C (LM) • Trim capability • Remote shutdown feature • Fixed operating frequency • No external components required
