TRACOPOWER THN 15-2412 DC/DC Converter 12V DC Output, 1.3A, 18 - 36V DC Input, 15W, Through Hole, 87% Efficiency, 85°C Max

The TRACOPOWER THN 15-2412 DC/DC Converter is a robust and versatile power module engineered for demanding industrial, instrumentation, and mobile equipment applications. This converter efficiently transforms a wide 18 - 36V DC input into a regulated 12V DC output with up to 1.3A current, ensuring stable performance for sensitive electronic circuits.

With a maximum output power rating of 15W and an efficiency of 87%, it minimizes energy losses and operates across a broad ambient temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. Its ultra-miniature shielded metal case (25.4 mm length × 9.9 mm depth) with an insulated baseplate provides effective heat management and electromagnetic protection, while through-hole mounting supports secure integration on standard PCBs.

The module features industry standard 6-pin configuration and offers a 2:1 input ratio, facilitating compatibility with a wide array of distributed power architectures. Its isolation voltage of 1.5kV DC enhances electrical safety by separating input and output circuits, and adjustable output voltage (potentially ±10%) is possible with external resistors.

Integrated protection mechanisms include over-voltage, over-load, and short-circuit safeguards which protect both the converter and downstream components. Ripple and noise are minimised, with the built-in filter meeting EN 55022, Class A and FCC, Level A standards (with external capacitors). Remote on/off functionality supports advanced power management within sophisticated electronics.

Reliability is underscored by its calculated MTBF of 1,600,000 hours (MIL-HDBK-217F @ 25°C), making it ideal for mission-critical deployments where uptime and longevity are essential. The THN 15-2412 is particularly suited for mobile equipment, instrumentation, and industrial communication systems, where regulated DC voltages are vital for control electronics, sensors, and data transmission modules.

Use cases include distributed power architectures, telecom infrastructure, automated test systems, embedded microcontroller projects, and any environment requiring high-performance isolated DC-DC conversion.
