VCCS300 Series Overview 

The VCCS300 series of conduction cooled power supplies deliver a silent 300 Watts of power in a miniature 2x4x1.61 Inch package and is the 
ultimate power solution for industrial or medical applications where a high efficiency, ruggedized, noiseless and BF rated power solution with 
Class I or II installation capability is required.   The product series offers power densities exceeding 23W per cubic inch with efficiencies up to 95% 
in a scalable power architecture. The VCCS300 conduction cooled power solution can be scaled up to 600 watts, 900 watts and beyond by 
utilising the onboard current sharing feature. The VCCS300S is approved to the latest industrial safety standards (IEC/UL62368-1 2nd Edition) while 
the VCCS300M is approved to the latest medical safety standards (IEC/UL60601-1 3

RD

 Edition & IEC/UL60601-1-2 4

TH

 Edition). Both versions are 

approved to the latest EMC standards and feature market leading specifications and design-in application support.
