Application Examples

Medical

The 36HxxxxS-2 Series is approved to provide medical devices with the protection required to ensure both safety and legal EU distribution.

All components applied within medical devices currently must be approved to IEC/EN60601-1 3rd Edition. This standard requires certain protection levels and is not necessarily applicable for all medical devices. The protection level required for the device to be legally applicable within the application depends on whether or not the device will be connected to a patient. This can be levels of safety insulation, protective earth or creepage distance – or even a combination of these. Ideal Power are able to source the correct component for any device, based on its specific requirements.  

Ideal Power’s medical conversion units are capable of facilitating such medical applications as; Monitoring and Diagnostics, Laboratory Equipment, Household Medical Devices and even Dental.

Battery Electric Vehicles

With the increasing awareness of the effects of carbon emissions within our environment, and the automotive industry proactively innovating to ‘be seen to be green’, the production of Battery Electric Vehicles is on the rise.

Ideal Power’s 36CF0505XT-1WR2 DC/DC converter is applicable within the battery management system of a Battery Electric Vehicle in order to efficiently maximise its overall performance. The module features a 3,500 V DC isolation, and an operating temperature range of -50°C~+125°C, whilst complying with both TS16949 and AEC-Q100
