QUINT DC/DC converter – superior system availability from
SFB technology
Compact DC/DC converters from the new QUINT POWER
generation maximize your system availability. With SFB
technology (Selective Fuse Breaking Technology), 6-fold
nominal current for 12 ms, it is possible to trigger even
standard circuit breakers reliably and quickly. Faulty current
paths are switched off selectively, the fault is located, and
important system parts remain in operation. Comprehensive
diagnostics are provided through constant monitoring of the
input voltage, output voltage and output current. Preventive
function monitoring visualizes critical operating states and
indicates them to the controller before errors can occur.
The application fields for DC/DC converters are numerous
–Changing the voltage level
–Refreshing the output voltage for constant voltage at
the end of long cables
–Setup of independent supply systems by electrical
isolation

10Mounting on DIN rails
10.1Normal mounting position
Assembly:
Position the DC/DC converter with the DIN rail guide on the
top edge of the DIN rail and snap it in by pushing downward.
Removing:
Pull back the snap-on catch using a screwdriver and detach
the DC/DC converter from the bottom edge of the DIN rail.
Other mounting positions are also possible.
Always observe position-dependent derating.
11Input
Connection to the input voltage is established via the screw
connectors on the DC input screw connection.
The DC/DC converter converts a DC voltage of 18...32V
into adjustable, regulated, and electrically isolated output
voltage.
The DC/DC converter requires an input voltage of 18V.
During operation, this can drop down to 14V, then observe
the voltage-dependent derating.
10.2Rotated mounting position (270° Y-axis)
Figure 6Input
A rotated mounting position can be achieved for the DC/DC
converter by mounting the device on the DIN rail at a 270°
angle. Mount the DIN rail adapter (UTA 107/30) as shown in
the figure. No additional mounting material is required.
Mounting screws: Torx® T10 (0.8 Nm ... 0.9 Nm tightening
torque).
11.1Protection of the primary side
Installation of the DC/DC converter must correspond to EN
60950 regulations.
An internal fuse is provided for device protection. Additional
device protection is not required.
The connecting cables on the primary side should have
large cross sections to keep the voltage drops in the cables
as low as possible.
NOTE: Device may be damaged
If an internal fuse trips, this is due to a device
fault. In this case, the DC/DC converter must

12.1Protection of the secondary side
The DC/DC converter is electronically short-circuit-proof
and idling-proof. In the event of an error, the output voltage
is limited. It must be ensured that all output cables are
dimensioned accordingly for the maximum output current or
have separate protection.
The connecting cables on the secondary side should have
large cross sections to keep the voltage drops in the cables
as low as possible.
13Output characteristic curve
The DC/DC converter works with the POWER BOOST
power reserve as shown in the U/I characteristic curve in the
figure. At ambient temperatures < 40°C, I
permanently available. It is also available at higher
temperatures for a few minutes.
In the event of a secondary-side short circuit or overload, the
output current is limited to I
. In this case, the DC/DC
BOOST
converter does not switch off but supplies output current
continuously. The secondary voltage is then reduced until
the short circuit is eliminated. The U/I characteristic curve
with the POWER BOOST power reserve ensures that high
inrush currents of capacitive loads in the primary circuit can
be supplied reliably.

SFB
14SFB technology
SFB (Selective Fuse Breaking) technology reliably switches
off faulty current paths in the event of a short circuit. In this
case, it supplies up to six times the nominal current for 12
ms. SFB technology therefore reliably triggers standard
circuit breakers. Faults are located reliably and important
system parts remain in operation.
14.1Circuit breaker tripping characteristics
Typically, a circuit breaker trips within 3 ... 5 ms. Fast
enough to avoid voltage drops of parallel connected loads.
Figure 9Quick tripping of circuit breakers with SFB
technology
If conditions cannot be observed, SFB
technology can be deactivated.
14.3Deactivating SFB technology
The DC/DC converter is equipped with an additional SFB
switch which can be used to deactivate SFB technology.
The SFB switch is located on the top side of the housing and
is accessible for suitable tools, such as a small screwdriver
through the vents.
14.2Installation notes
To use the SFB technology of the QUINT DC/DC converter,
you must observe the following requirements:
–When designing the secondary side, consider the
configuration matrix that describes the maximum cable
lengths depending on the performance class of the DC/
DC converters, the conductor cross section, and the
circuit breaker.
The current configuration matrix can be found
in the product download area.
–Make sure that the source to be supplied is able to
deliver a corresponding current pulse to supply the DC/
DC converter. Forexample, this can be achieved by
upstream connection of a QUINT SFB power supply
(see accessories) or suitable battery capacity.
–Ensure the lowest possible cable impedance at the
input of the DC/DC converter by using short cable
lengths and large cable cross sections.
Observe the maximum distance between the
source to be supplied and the DC/DC
converter.

The following parameters are the basis for calculation:
–Circuit breaker from Siemens, B and C characteristics
(e.g., B6: 5SY6106-6)
–B characteristic: electromagnetic tripping of the circuit
breaker at the latest at (5-fold rated current) x
(correction factor 1.2 at 0Hz) = 6-fold rated current
–C characteristic: electromagnetic tripping of the circuit
breaker at the latest at (10-fold rated current) x
(correction factor 1.2 at 0Hz) = 12-fold rated current
–Ambient temperature: +20°C
–The internal resistances of the circuit breakers are
considered.
–In addition to short circuit current, the relevant power
supply unit supplies half of the nominal current for paths
connected in parallel.

15.3Active switching output “UIN>19.2V”
During normal operation of the DC/DC converter, the
UIN>19.2V output signal is between connection terminal
blocks "UIN>19.2V” and “-” and can carry a maximum of
20mA. The UIN>19.2V signal output indicates a low input
voltage by switching from “active high” to “low”.
16Derating
16.1Temperature-dependent derating
With an ambient temperature of up to +40°C, the device
supplies the continuous output current of I
device can supply a nominal output current of IN with
ambient temperatures of up to +60°C . In the case o f am bie nt
temperatures above +60°C, the output current must be
reduced by 2.5% per Kelvin increase in temperature. The
device does not switch off at ambient temperatures of +70°C
or thermal overload. The output capacity is reduced as far as
necessary to provide device protection. After it has cooled
down, the output capacity is increased again.
16.2Voltage-dependent derating
The nominal input voltage of 24VDC is divided into the
areas of starting and operation. The DC/DC converter
requires at least 18VDC for cold starting, whereby the input
voltage can sink to 14VDC during operation. The device
only switches off under this limit. The upper voltage limit is
32VDC for both starting and operation.

The DC/DC converters can be snapped onto all DIN rails
according to EN 50022-35. They should be mounted
horizontally (input terminal blocks on bottom). When
installing in a different mounting position, derating should be
observed.
The characteristic curve can be used to determine the
maximal output power to be drawn for each ambient
temperature for different mounting positions.

17Operating modes
17.1Series operation
Two DC/DC converters can be connected in series to
double the voltage. Only devices of the same performance
class should be connected in series. Series connection
should always be used if the output voltage of the module is
not sufficient. For example, DC/DC converters with 24VDC
nominal output voltage each supply 48VDC in series.
Depending on the specification of the PE connection, output
voltages of +48V or -48V as well as ±24V DC can also be
made available.
17.3Redundant operation
Redundant circuits are suitable for supplying systems,
which place particularly high demands on operational
safety. If a fault occurs in the primary circuit of the first power
supply unit, the second device automatically takes over the
complete power supply without interruption, and vice versa.
For this purpose, the power supply units to be connected in
parallel must be large enough to ensure that the total current
requirements of all loads can be fully met by one power
supply unit. External decoupling diodes are required for
100% redundancy!
Optimization of redundancy can be achieved by decoupling
and monitoring. Phoenix Contact offers a comprehensive
product range for this purpose (e.g., QUINT-DIODE or
QUINT-ORING).
Example: diode module
Figure 13Series operation
17.2Parallel operation
DC/DC converters of the same type can be connected in
parallel to increase both redundancy and power. No further
adjustments to the default setting are necessary.
To ensure symmetrical load distribution, it is recommended
Example: QUINT ORING
that all cable connections from the DC/DC converters to the
busbar are the same length and have the same conductor
cross section.
Depending on the system, a protective circuit should be
installed at each individual device output (e.g. decoupling
diode or DC fuse) for parallel connection of more than two
DC/DC converters. This prevents high return currents in the
event of a secondary device fault.

n parallel connected DC/DC converters. Parallel connection
for increasing power is used when extending existing
systems. Parallel connection is recommended if the DC/DC
converter does not cover the current consumption of the
most powerful load. Otherwise, the loads should be
distributed between individual devices that are independent
of one another.
