The **MGFS152412-R** is a high-performance DC-DC converter manufactured by **Cosel**. It is part of the MGFS series, specifically designed for high power density and reliability in a compact 1x1 inch footprint. --- ## 1. Key Specifications The following table summarizes the primary electrical characteristics of the MGFS152412-R: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Input Voltage Range** | 9V to 36V DC (24V Nominal) | | **Output Voltage** | 12V DC | | **Output Current** | 1.3A | | **Output Power** | 15.6W | | **Efficiency** | 89% (Typical) | | **Isolation Voltage** | 1,500V DC (1 minute) | | **Package Size** | 1 x 1 inch (DIP Package) | | **Operating Temperature** | -40°C to +85°C | --- ## 2. Technical Features The "R" suffix and the series designation indicate several integrated electronic protections and features: ### A. Protection Circuits * **Overcurrent Protection (OCP):** Automatically recovers when the fault condition is removed. * **Overvoltage Protection (OVP):** Protects the load from voltage spikes. * **Thermal Protection:** Shuts down the unit if the internal temperature exceeds safety limits. ### B. Functional Pins * **Remote ON/OFF:** Allows the converter to be toggled electronically without disconnecting the main input power. * **Voltage Trimming:** Allows the user to adjust the output voltage slightly (typically $\pm 10\%$) via an external resistor. ### C. Construction * **Six-sided Shielding:** The metal case provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, reducing noise radiation. * **No Tantalum/Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors:** Increases long-term reliability by using ceramic capacitors. --- ## 3. Pin Configuration (Typical) While you should always consult the official datasheet for PCB layout, the standard pinout for this 1x1 inch module is: | Pin Number | Function | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1 | +VIN | Positive Input | | 2 | -VIN | Negative Input | | 3 | Remote ON/OFF | Control Pin | | 4 | +VOUT | Positive Output | | 5 | TRM | Output Voltage Adjustment | | 6 | -VOUT | Negative Output (GND) | --- ## 4. Typical Application Circuit To ensure stability and reduce ripple, external capacitors are often recommended: ```c /* Basic External Component Setup */ Input (9-36V) ----[ C1: 100uF ]----( +VIN ) ( -VIN )---- GND Output (12V) ----[ C2: 22uF ]-----( +VOUT ) ( -VOUT )--- Load GND ```
