DESCRIPTION
The GS25T48-5, GS30T48-12 and GS30T48-15
are isolated DC-DC converters designed for general purpose application.
The output poweris in the range of 25W to 30W.
To ensure very long life, these converters do not
use electrolytic aluminum capacitors or optoelectronic feedbacksystems.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Function Description
1
-IN Negative input voltage.
2
+IN
Positive input voltage. Unregulated input voltage (typically 48V) must be applied between
pins 1-2. The input section of the DC-DC converter isprotected against reverse polarity by
a series diode. No external fuse is required. Input is filtered by a Pi network.
3
ON/OFF
Logically compatible with CMOS or open collector TTL. The converter is ON (Enable)
when the voltage applied to this pin with reference to pin 1 is higher than 1.8V.The
converter is OFF (Inhibit) for a control voltage lower than 1.2V.When the pin is
unconnected the converter is ON (Enable).
4
+ SENSE
Senses the remote load high side. Tobe connected to pin 6 when remote sense is not
used.
5
-SENSE Senses the remote load return. Tobe connected to pin 7 when remote sense is not used.
6
+ OUT Output voltage.
7
-OUT Output voltage return.
