The FDC15 series offer 15 watts of output power from a 2 x 1.6 x 0.4 inch package. The 
FDC15 series have 4:1 wide input voltage of 9-36 and 18-75VDC. The FDC15 features 
1600VDC of isolation, short-circuit and over-voltage protection, as well as six sided 
shielding. A safety approval to EN60950 and UL1950. All models are particularly suited to 
telecommunications, industrial, mobile telecom and test equipment applications.

Note 
1. The FDC15 series required a minimum 10% loading on the output to maintain specified 
regulation. Operation under no-load condition will not damage these devices, however 
they may not meet all listed specification. 
2. Simulated source impedance of 12uH. 12uH inductor in series with +Vin. 
3. The ON/OFF control voltage is reference to negative input. 
4. BELLCORE TR-NWT-000332. Case I: 50% Stress, Temperature at 40ºC. (Ground fixed 
and controlled environment). 
5. Heat-sink option, Thermal impedance is 8.24ºC/Watt for natural convection and the P/N 
is 7G-0011A. 
6. Maximum value at nominal input voltage and full load. 
7. Typical value at nominal input voltage and full load. 
8. Test by minimum Vin and constant resistor load.
