COSEL & Eplax GK Series - 19" Plug-In DC/DC Converters
Rack-Integrated DC Power Conversion for Industrial Systems
19-inch rack architectures are a long-established standard in industrial control, telecommunications, and infrastructure installations. For system designers working within these environments, sourcing DC/DC converters that integrate directly into rack-mounted power distribution without additional mounting hardware or external enclosures simplifies both the mechanical design and the overall system layout.
COSEL and Eplax offer the GK Series: enclosed DC/DC converters in a 19-inch plug-in format, designed for direct integration into standard rack systems. With a convection-cooled design, no forced airflow is required, making the series well suited to sealed or low-airflow rack enclosures.
Designed for Industrial Rack-Mounted Power Distribution
The GK Series is suited for a range of industrial applications where DC power conversion is required within a 19-inch rack architecture, including:
- Industrial control and automation infrastructure
- Telecommunications and network equipment racks
- Test and measurement system enclosures
- Process control and distributed I/O installations
- Power distribution in custom rack-mounted system builds
Technical Characteristics
The GK Series covers a practical range of input voltages and output configurations to support diverse rack-mounted power distribution requirements:
- Input voltage ranges of 9-18 V, 18-36 V, or 36-72 V DC, covering common nominal bus voltages of 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V
- Output power from 30 W to 120 W
- Single, dual, and triple output configurations available
- Output voltages including 5 V, 12 V, 24 V, ±12 V, and ±15 V for both single-rail and split-rail supply requirements
- Adjustable output voltage for fine-tuning to system requirements
- Built-in overvoltage protection
- Vero standard pinning for compatibility with established rack backplane systems
- Convection cooling - no fan required, maintenance-free operation
- Enclosed case style for protection in rack environments
A Focused Solution for 19-Inch Rack DC Distribution
The GK Series addresses a specific integration need: high-quality, enclosed DC/DC conversion that plugs directly into a 19-inch rack without additional mechanical adaptation. The Vero standard pinning ensures compatibility with widely used rack backplane systems, reducing integration effort for designers working within established rack infrastructure. The availability of single, dual, and triple output configurations within a single series allows the same platform to serve multiple supply rail requirements across a system.
