FRD SERIES - DUAL OUTPUT, 5 WATT
DESCRIPTION FEATURES
FRD dual output DC/DC converters offer excellent 
regulation and isolation in an industry standard 
package. Available in several input versions, the FRD 
is perfect for industrial, datacom, or telecom 
applications. The FRD features short circuit 
protection, six-sided shielding, and 500 VDC isolation. 
Please see the FRS series for single output applications.
