You Need The FP-DCC1!

The FP-DCC1 is part of the group of versatile FLAT-PAK products from Radio Design Labs. The unique
FLAT-PAK case can be directly screwed or bolted to cabinets or shelves. Optionally available rack­mounting accessories permit single or multiple FLAT-PAK module mounting. All FLAT-PAK modules are
supplied with a power interconnect cable for daisy chaining multiple modules from a single power supply.

APPLICATION: The FP-DCC1 is the ideal choice in many applications where audio or video modules
need to be powered from a 12 Vdc source. Ground-referenced RDL modules may be operated from one of
the FP-DCC1s two outputs. One is a high current output providing 400 mA @ 24 Vdc intended to power
multiple modules (see RDL ST-PD5 Power Supply Distributor for multiple module installations) or RDL
audio power amplifiers (such as ST-PA2 or ST-PA6). A second low noise output is heavily filtered and
provides 50 mA @ 24 Vdc specifically to power microphone level high gain modules, such as microphone
preamplifiers. Both outputs may be used simultaneously. When the FP-DCC1 is used to power one or
more Flat-Pak series modules, the high current (400 mA) output is connected through the dc power jack
located on the connection end panel. Other ground-referenced modules are powered by connecting to the
plug-in terminal block on the FP-DCC1. Input power connections are also made using either the plug-in
barrier block terminals.

The FP-DCC1 outputs are regulated to provide 24 Vdc for input voltages normally encountered in 12 Vdc
battery circuits. If voltage in excess of 15 Vdc (possible if a vehicle’s regulator should fail) is connected to
the FP-DCC1 input, the module protects itself by shutting down its internal circuitry and illuminating the
OVERVOLTAGE LED. The FP-DCC1 input and outputs are protected against excessive currents and
reverse voltages. Two fuses are provided. These fuses are the standard miniature automotive plug-in
blade style. The FP-DCC1 is not intended to power floating (bipolar) modules. Adequate ventilation is
recommended.

The FP-DCC1’s low profile and compact size permit mounting in confined spaces and in various locations.
The removable input/output connectors permit pre-wiring and subsequent module installation in tight
spaces. Wherever regulated, ground-referenced 24 Vdc power from a 12 Vdc source is needed to provide
reliable compact power, the FP-DCC1 is the ideal choice. Combine it with other RDL products as part of a
complete mobile audio/video system.
