Overview

The TEN 3-2411 is a high-performance 3 Watt DC/DC converter module in a standard 24-pin DIP package. It provides a regulated 5V output from a wide 2:1 input voltage range of 18V to 36V, featuring 1,500 VDC I/O isolation. This isolated module is designed for reliable power distribution in industrial and commercial electronics where space is at a premium.

Why Choose This Part

This converter features a built-in EMI filter that meets EN 55022 Class A standards without external components, simplifying PCB layout. It offers high reliability with an MTBF of over 1.1 million hours and an extended operating temperature range of -40C to 85C. The industry-standard DIP-24 footprint allows for drop-in compatibility in many existing designs.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Provides isolated power to sensitive logic circuits in environments with high electrical noise.
Data Communication Equipment
Ideal for powering RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces where ground loop isolation is required.
Distributed Power Architectures
Functions as a local step-down regulator for 24V bus systems in complex instrumentation.
Mixed-Signal Boards
Separates digital noise from analog supply rails using its internal input filter and isolation barrier.

Getting Started

Integrate the module by following the industry-standard 24-pin DIP pinout, ensuring adequate trace width for the 500mA output. While the internal filter meets Class A limits, adding external low-ESR capacitors close to the input pins can further reduce ripple for sensitive analog applications. Ensure the operating environment does not exceed 85C to maintain the 3W power rating without derating.
