More Power, Less Space —
Two Package Options

The COE Series delivers the highest power density available in a standard eighth brick footprint. Patented Buck Reset topology and synchronous rectification achieve industry-leading efficiency, while Sink-Plate and Enclosed options let system designers choose the thermal management approach that fits their environment.

175 W/in³ Power Density
Industry-leading power density for an eighth brick. Patented Buck Reset switching eliminates losses that conventional topologies accept as unavoidable — delivering more watts per cubic inch than any comparable isolated module.
Sink-Plate Technology
Integrated heat-spreading plate options (1.0mm Metal, 3.0mm Metal, 3.0mm Sink-Plate, 5.0mm Sink-Plate) enable conduction cooling directly to the chassis — eliminating the need for external heatsinks in many applications.
SR Stage + Buck Reset
Synchronous rectification at the output combined with the patented Buck Reset topology reduces conduction and switching losses simultaneously — a dual-optimization that competitors typically achieve only one at a time.
Full Protection Suite
OCP (108–125%), OVP (115–130%), and OTP (110°C Tc) provide comprehensive protection. Remote on/off supports both positive and negative logic for clean sequencing in multi-rail designs.
Industry Standard Pinout
Compatible with industry-standard eighth brick pin assignment. Drop-in replacement for existing designs — no PCB modifications required when upgrading from lower-efficiency modules.
4.80M Hours MTBF
Bellcore TR-332 Issue 6 verified. Multi-layer single-sided PCB design minimizes solder joint count and hot spots — the primary failure mechanisms in power modules under long-term operational stress.
Six-Sided Metal Package
High thermal conductivity silicone-potted six-sided metal enclosure designed for applications under extreme environmental conditions — humidity, vibration, and contamination that would degrade open-frame modules.
102 W/in³ Enclosed Density
Despite full enclosure, the Enclosed COE achieves 102 W/in³ — one of the highest power densities available in a fully potted eighth brick. Metal-plate technology maintains thermal performance without heatsink attachments.
Extreme Environment Ready
Silicone potting protects against moisture ingress, condensation, and particulate contamination. Suitable for outdoor telecom infrastructure, defense systems, and industrial environments where open-frame designs are not viable.
Same Pin Assignment
Identical eighth brick pin-out as the Open Frame version. System designers can specify Open Frame for benign environments and Enclosed for harsh ones — using the same PCB layout throughout the product family.
Identical Electrical Specs
Enclosed version shares the same electrical specification as Open Frame — same output accuracy (±1%), same line/load regulation (±0.2%), same protection thresholds. Only the mechanical package changes.
4.80M Hours MTBF
Same Bellcore TR-332 Issue 6 rating as Open Frame. Potting adds mechanical protection without reducing reliability — silicone compound is stable from −40°C to +125°C with no degradation over time.
