Overview
The Vicor MM4-15559-1 Mini MegaPAC is a modular switching power supply platform designed for industrial automation, motion control, and PLC/HMI applications. This unit is configured by selecting and inserting up to eight slide-in output assemblies called ConverterPACs, which incorporate one or two Vicor DC-DC converters and are available in a wide array of outputs and power levels. The modular architecture allows field-upgradeable power configurations without requiring a complete unit replacement.
Key Features
- Modular Design: Upgrading is easy: simply unlock a single screw and replace the slide-in ModuPAC assembly with one that has the desired rating
- Multiple Isolated Outputs: Supports up to 16 isolated outputs via stacked ConverterPACs for diverse system power needs
- Compact Form Factor: Small in size (6.0 x 11.7 x 3.4 inches), suitable for space-constrained panel installations
- Current Sharing Capability: Load sharing allows the ability to divide the output current evenly across all active power supplies, greatly reducing stresses on each power supply and allowing them to run cooler, resulting in higher reliability
- Industrial Operating Temperature: Mini MegaPAC operating temperature is 45°C using any combination of modules and output voltages as long as the front-end rating is not exceeded
