Cincon Brick Converters (30W-800W)
Scalable DC-DC Power Conversion in Standard Brick Formats
When applications move beyond low-power board-level conversion, system designers need DC-DC converters that combine higher output power, standardized mechanical formats, reliable isolation, and flexible input voltage ranges. This is exactly where brick converters play a central role.
Cincon’s Brick Converters from 30W to 800W provide a scalable DC-DC platform for industrial, railway, telecom, medical, and embedded power architectures. Available in quarter-brick, half-brick, and full-brick formats, these converters are designed for PCB mounting and combine regulated isolated outputs with high efficiency and comprehensive protection features.
Available through FORTEC Switzerland, Cincon brick converters support engineers who require robust and standardized power conversion solutions for medium- and high-power system designs.
Standard Brick Formats for Flexible System Design
One of the key advantages of Cincon’s brick converter portfolio is its use of industry-standard brick sizes, which simplifies mechanical integration and helps designers scale performance across different platforms.
The portfolio includes:
- Quarter-brick converters for compact mid-power solutions
- Half-brick converters for higher power density and extended output capability
- Full-brick converters for high-power applications up to the upper range of the product family
These standard formats allow system designers to align electrical performance with available board space, cooling strategy, and mechanical design requirements.
Broad Power Range from 30W to 800W
Cincon’s brick converter portfolio covers a wide power spectrum, enabling a consistent converter strategy across different classes of applications.
The range includes:
- compact lower-power brick solutions starting from around 30W to 50W
- mid-power quarter- and half-brick converters
- high-power half-brick and full-brick converters
- solutions reaching up to 800W
This broad output range makes it possible to implement both localized power conversion and central DC-DC stages within the same general converter family concept.
Wide Input Voltage Options for Industrial and Transportation Systems
Modern DC power systems often need to support different voltage rails depending on application sector, installation environment, and regional system architecture.
Cincon brick converters therefore offer multiple wide input range concepts, including:
- 2:1 input range
- 4:1 input range
- 8:1 input range
- 12:1 input range
- 14:1 input range
In addition, selected series support high-voltage DC input ranges for applications in railway, industrial infrastructure, and specialized power systems.
This variety allows the portfolio to address common bus voltages such as 9V, 12V, 24V, 28V, 48V, 72V, 110V, 160V, 300V and beyond, depending on the converter series.
Isolated, Regulated, and Designed for Reliable Operation
Cincon brick converters are designed for reliable DC-DC conversion in demanding operating environments. Depending on series, they provide:
- isolated output design
- regulated output voltages
- high efficiency
- full protection functions
- robust thermal and electrical behavior
The combination of isolation, regulated outputs, and protection features makes these converters suitable for applications where power quality, system protection, and long-term stability are critical.
From Industrial to Railway and Medical Applications
Cincon’s brick converter portfolio supports a broad range of application areas, including:
- industrial automation and control systems
- telecom and data communication equipment
- embedded computing platforms
- railway electronics
- distributed power architectures
- medical systems in selected product families
For railway-related applications, selected series are compliant with standards such as:
- EN 50155
- EN 45545-2
For medical applications, selected brick converters also support dedicated medical requirements, including high isolation and standards relevant to patient-related systems.
This makes the portfolio suitable not only for general industrial use, but also for regulated sectors where reliability and compliance are essential.
Plug-In Ready Modules with Integrated EMI Support
Cincon does not only offer standard brick converters. The portfolio also includes plug-in ready-to-use DC-DC converter modules, such as the CMFC/CMFD series, which integrate EMI solutions directly into the module concept.
These integration-ready solutions help system designers address one of the most common challenges in power design: EMC behavior and certification effort.
In addition, Cincon provides application notes and integration guidance, which support faster development cycles and help reduce design time.
High Power Density with Standardized Integration
A key strength of the Cincon brick portfolio is the combination of high power density and standard PCB-mount integration.
Depending on the converter family, designers can benefit from:
- compact power conversion in quarter-brick formats
- higher output capability in half-brick designs
- maximum power in full-brick formats
- standardized mounting for efficient system implementation
This combination makes the converters highly suitable for designs where performance, reliability, and mechanical standardization must be balanced carefully.
FORTEC Switzerland supports developers and OEMs with the selection and integration of Cincon brick DC-DC converters for industrial, railway, telecom, embedded, and regulated applications.
