Description

The CAR1212FP series of rectifiers provide highly efficient isolated power from world-wide commercial AC mains.
Offered in the industry standard compact 1U form factor, these rectifiers complement the CAR1212DC converter line,
providing comprehensive solutions for systems connected either to commercial ac mains or 48/60Vdc power plants.
This plug and play approach, between AC and DC input units, has significant advantages since systems can be readily
reconfigured by simply replacing the power supply.

The high-density, front-to-back airflow is designed for minimal space utilization and is highly expandable for future
growth.

Absolute Maximum Ratings

Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are absolute stress ratings only, functional
operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet.
Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect the device reliability.
