The military grade MGDM-500/P converts input voltages of 9 – 40 Vdc  or 16-80 Vdc to four nominal DC output voltages - 12 V, 15 V, 24 V and 28 V, with up to 500 W of output power at an efficiency exceeding 91%.

The module comes with a unique new parallel option with droop control that enables seamless load sharing across up to six individual modules, delivering power levels up to 3 kW, while maintaining high efficiency and reliability.

The highly scalable power architecture of the MGDM-500/P requires minimal external components - just a single low-power sense resistor – significantly streamlining system integration and reducing additional component costs.

Rated to MiL-STD-704, MiL-STD-1275, MiL-STD-461, and DO160, the MGDM-500/P provides greater flexibility, simplified integration, and optimised performance for aerospace, defence, and industrial applications.

Thanks to its two-component potting compound, the module ensures optimum heat dissipation under the harshest of operational conditions while supporting a storage temperature range of -40 to +125 oC. Available in chassis-mount packages measuring 61 x 64 x 12.9 mm key benefits and features of the module include: 

  • Scalable Power Solutions - supports 12, 15, 24, and 28Vdc outputs and allows up to 6 modules to be combined, reaching power levels of up to 3kW
  • Ultra simple droop control operation
  • Minimal Additional Components: only one low-power sense resistor is needed
