Product Highlights
The FIAM110 is a DC front-end module
designed for rail applications providing
transient protection, inrush current limiting and
EMI filtering (EN50121-3-2) in a Mini-size
package. The FIAM enables designers using
Vicor 110 Vin Mini, Micro, or Maxi or
VI/VE-200 and VI/VE-J00 (T input) DC-DC
converters to meet the transient immunity and
EMI requirements required for the rail industry
and protect system hardware from inrush
current. The FIAM110 accepts an input voltage
of 66 – 154 Vdc and provide up to 500 W of
output power and remote on/off control.
The FIAM110 is housed in an industry
standard "half brick" module measuring 2.28"
x 2.2" x 0.5" and depending upon model
selected, may be mounted on-board or in-board
for height critical applications.
