Cincon DIP / SMD Board Converters
Flexible DC-DC Conversion from 3W to 75W for Industrial and Embedded Designs
Power conversion in embedded and industrial systems is rarely a one-size-fits-all task. Different board layouts, thermal concepts, input voltages, and certification requirements demand converter families that are electrically robust, mechanically flexible, and easy to integrate.
Cincon’s DIP / SMD Board Converters from 3W to 75W are designed exactly for these requirements. They combine industry-standard footprints and pin-outs with high efficiency, wide input voltage ranges, and multiple package options, making them suitable for a broad range of industrial, railway, telecom, medical, and embedded applications.
Available through FORTEC Switzerland, these converter families provide a scalable DC-DC platform for engineers who need reliable board-level power solutions.
Broad Package Variety for Different Design Requirements
Cincon’s DIP / SMD converter portfolio covers a wide mechanical spectrum to support different system architectures and PCB constraints.
Available package concepts include:
- DIP24 and SMD24 packages from 3W to 15W
- 1" x 1" packages from 10W to 30W
- 2" x 1" packages from 10W to 75W
- 2" x 1.6" and 2" x 2" formats from 15W to 40W
This broad package selection allows engineers to choose the most suitable format for their thermal, electrical, and mechanical requirements without compromising on performance or integration quality.
Designed for Industrial, Embedded, and Regulated Applications
With more than 29 years of DC-DC converter development experience, Cincon has built a portfolio that supports applications across:
- industrial electronics
- ITE systems
- 5G telecom infrastructure
- railway technology
- medical equipment
- household and embedded devices
For industrial designs, the full DIP converter range is suitable for general industrial use. At the same time, selected product families also address regulated markets such as railway and medical electronics, where safety, environmental robustness, and compliance are especially important.
Wide Input Range Options for System Flexibility
Modern systems often operate across varying DC bus voltages, particularly in transportation, telecom, and distributed power architectures.
Cincon’s DIP / SMD board converters support a wide range of input concepts, including:
- 2:1 input range
- 4:1 input range
- 8:1 ultra-wide input range
- 10:1 high-voltage input range
- 18:1 ultra-wide input range
- ±10% nominal input variants
These wide input options enable the converters to support common voltage rails such as 5V, 12V, 24V, 28V, 48V, 72V, and higher-voltage system architectures, depending on the series.
This flexibility helps simplify system design, reduce converter variants, and improve compatibility across multiple platforms.
Isolation, High Isolation, and Application-Specific Solutions
Different systems require different levels of electrical separation and protection.
Cincon therefore offers:
- standard isolated DC-DC converters
- high-isolation variants up to 6kVDC
- non-isolated solutions for specific board-level applications
- reinforced-insulation-oriented designs in selected series
Depending on the product family, the converters support isolation levels such as:
- 500VDC
- 1.5kVDC
- 3kVDC
- 6kVDC
This makes the portfolio suitable for applications where electrical safety, noise immunity, and reliable signal separation are critical.
Railway and Harsh-Environment Capability
A number of Cincon DIP / SMD board converter families are designed for railway and harsh-environment use.
Selected models are compliant with:
- EN 50155
- EN 45545-2
- relevant industrial safety standards
Cincon also offers 18:1 ultra-wide input range DC-DC converters that are especially suitable for railway and distributed power systems with strongly varying input voltages.
These characteristics make the converters highly relevant for transportation, rolling stock electronics, and industrial systems exposed to unstable or demanding operating conditions.
High Efficiency and Reliable Board-Level Integration
Cincon board converters are designed for efficient and reliable PCB-level integration. Depending on series, they offer:
- high efficiency for reduced heat generation
- wide operating temperature capability
- standard industry pin-outs
- regulated and application-optimized output options
- compact integration into embedded and industrial boards
These characteristics support faster development cycles and easier implementation in both new and existing system platforms.
Suitable for a Wide Range of Applications
Because of their wide power range, flexible input options, and package diversity, Cincon DIP / SMD board converters are suitable for:
- industrial control systems
- embedded computing platforms
- telecom and data communication equipment
- railway electronics
- medical devices
- power distribution on complex PCBs
- compact and mid-power board-level applications
The portfolio enables engineers to cover many different voltage conversion tasks with one consistent product family approach.
FORTEC Switzerland supports developers and OEMs with the selection and integration of Cincon DIP / SMD DC-DC converter solutions for industrial, embedded, railway, telecom, and regulated applications.
