Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a new module from Maxwell Technologies.

The BMOD0189P051B2A 51 V module is based on Maxwell’s leading 48 V module platform and includes the benefits of DuraBlue™ Advanced Shock and Vibration Technology, which combines Maxwell’s unique and patented dry electrode formulation and manufacturing process with a robust proprietary cell structure, resulting in a cell that meets or exceeds some of the most demanding shock and vibration requirements of transportation markets.

The new module offers active balancing, Maxwell’s unique 2.85 V cell technology, heat sinks on the top and bottom of the module, and an integrated fan for extreme duty cycle cases. It is ideally suited for rugged environment applications, including hybrid vehicles, rail, heavy industrial equipment and UPS systems.

Additional key features of the BMOD0189P051B2A include:

  • Compliant with shock (IEC 60068-2-27 and 2-29) and vibration (ISO 16750-3, Tables 12 and 14) standards
  • Redundant over-voltage alarm
  • Advanced capacitor management system (CMS)
  • RoHS- and REACH-certified
