Series VV (100-10kV)

Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Series VV from Pico Electronics are unregulated DC-DC converters with a low profile package, offering up to 10,000V single output models. They operate efficiently across a temperature range of -25°C to +70°C without the need for a heat sink or active cooling.
Features
  • Output power up to 10W
  • Output voltage proportional to input voltage
  • Models available with up to 10,000V output
  • Wide input voltage range
  • Through-hole mounting
  • Transformer isolated modules
  • No heat sink or derating required
Specifications
  • Input voltage ranges from 2V to 48V depending on the model
  • Output voltage ranges from 100V to 10,000V
  • Operating temperature range: -25°C to +70°C
  • Storage temperature range: -55°C to +125°C
  • Efficiency varies by model, typically around 74% to 84%
  • Isolation voltage ranges from 1500V to 3600V depending on the model
Environmental and General Specifications
  • Operating frequency ranges from 8kHz to 25kHz
  • Insulation resistance of 100 MΩ
  • Size: 2.25 x 1.125 x 0.5 inches
  • Weight: 45 grams
  • Case material: Glass reinforced polymer
Options and Standards
  • Expanded operating temperature range: -55°C to +85°C
  • Screening options per MIL-STD-883
  • Designed to meet MIL-STD-202 for vibration, shock, humidity, and altitude
Model Variants
The document provides detailed tables listing various models with specific input and output voltage ranges, output current, power, efficiency, and output ripple. Models are categorized by output voltage capabilities (≤5000V and ≥6000V) and isolation types (isolated, non-isolated positive, and non-isolated negative outputs).
Connection Diagrams
Typical connection diagrams are provided for different model types, emphasizing the need for specific external connections for non-isolated models with outputs ≥6000V.
Specifications:
A high-quality ceramic capacitor of 0.1µF, 2kV is required across the output. For models with ≤5000V output, input and output grounds are not internally connected and may be connected externally. For models with ≥6000V isolated output, input terminals cannot be connected to output terminals. For ≥6000V non-isolated positive output models, an external connection using the COM output terminal to either +IN or -IN input terminals is necessary.
Mechanical Drawings:
Dimensions are provided in inches and millimeters. For ≤5000V output models, input and output grounds must not be connected anywhere in the circuit. For ≥6000V isolated output models, the output is floating. For ≥6000V non-isolated positive output models, the common output must be connected to +IN or -IN input, and the output is negative. For ≥6000V non-isolated negative output models, the common output must be connected to +IN or -IN input, and the output is positive.
Warranty and Liability:
Pico Electronics warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year after shipment. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement and does not cover usage outside the product's specifications. Pico assumes no liability for consequential damages or losses incurred by the purchaser or third parties. Products are not guaranteed for use in nuclear, radioactive, or space environments without consultation.
Packaging:
Products are packaged in cardboard carriers with specified dimensions.
