Samlex IDC-360B-12 Fully Isolated Switch Mode Converter 360W

The Samlex IDC-360B-12 is a fully isolated, switch-mode DC-DC converter delivering 360 watts of continuous power with complete galvanic isolation between input and output circuits. Designed for demanding mobile, vehicular, and industrial DC power environments, it accepts an input voltage range of 20 to 35 volts DC and produces a tightly regulated 12.5-volt DC output at up to 30 amps. The converter's isolated architecture eliminates ground loops and prevents noise from propagating between power domains, making it well suited for sensitive communications equipment, emergency vehicle installations, and professional mobile workstations. Built-in fold-back current limiting and protection against short circuit, overheating, overvoltage, and reverse polarity connection provide robust system-level safeguards without requiring external components. Compliance with EN50081-1, EN50082-1, and the European Automotive Directive 95/54/EC confirms the unit meets rigorous electromagnetic compatibility standards for automotive and industrial deployments.

Key features & benefits

• Full Galvanic Isolation — Complete electrical isolation between input and output eliminates ground loops, suppresses conducted noise, and protects downstream equipment in mixed-voltage DC systems.
• High-Efficiency Switch-Mode Design — Switch-mode topology maximizes power conversion efficiency, reducing heat generation and allowing a compact housing suitable for space-constrained installations.
• Regulated 12.5 V / 30 A Output — Delivers a tightly regulated 12.5-volt DC output at a rated 30 amps, providing stable power for sensitive loads even as input voltage varies across the 20–35 V input range.
• Comprehensive Protection Circuits — Fold-back current limiting combined with short-circuit, overtemperature, overvoltage, and reverse-polarity protection safeguard both the converter and connected equipment under fault conditions.
• Quick-Disconnect Terminations — 1/4-inch push-on flat-blade quick-disconnect connectors simplify installation and field servicing without requiring specialized crimping or soldering tools.
• EMI/EMC Compliance — Conforms to EN50081-1 (emissions), EN50082-1 (immunity), and European Automotive Directive 95/54/EC, supporting integration into automotive and professional electronic systems with strict electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
