Modern trains rely on sophisticated electronic control systems for safety, communication and passenger comfort. These systems depend on stable power even when running on the most demanding railway electrical environments.
Railway power systems are notoriously challenging for electronics:
Severe input voltage transients — Nominal 110V rails can spike to 154V or drop to 77V during operation
For railway control electronics, EN 50155-compliant DC-DC converters are the standard solution:
4:1 ultra-wide input range (72V–144V, 66V–154V) handles all railway nominal voltages
1500VDC isolation rating meets railway safety separation requirements
Built-in input filtering suppresses conducted and radiated EMI per EN 50121-3-2
Vibration-proof package with conformal coating passes EN 61373 shock and vibration tests
Long MTBF >300,000 hours at 65°C ensures 20+ year service life in train applications
From train control units and passenger information displays to safety interlock systems and door controllers, certified DC-DC power modules keep rail electronics running reliably across the world's rail networks.
