DC/DC converter TracoPower TEN 8-4813, 8 W, 15 V output, 535 mA, DIL-24 package

TracoPower TEN 8-4813 is an isolated DC/DC converter in a DIL-24 through-hole package that provides a regulated 15 V output at up to 535 mA with 8 W total power. Designed for board-level voltage conversion and galvanic isolation, this module addresses the need for compact, reliable power rails in industrial control, embedded systems and telecommunications equipment where space-saving DIP mounting and electrical isolation are required.

Advantages

The converter offers a compact DIL-24 form factor that simplifies PCB layout and through-hole assembly while providing galvanic isolation between input and output to reduce ground loops and improve safety. Its regulated 15 V output maintains stable voltages under varying loads, and the module’s industrial-grade construction supports long-term reliability in demanding environments. Low external component count and standard pinout facilitate integration into existing designs.

Suitable for

• Creating isolated 15 V rails for industrial control systems
• Powering analog or mixed-signal circuits that require noise isolation
• Embedded and telecom boards using through-hole modules for prototyping or repairability
• Applications needing compact, board-mounted isolated converters

Key specifications

• Output voltage: 15 V regulated
• Maximum output current: 535 mA
• Maximum output power: 8 W
• Package type: DIL-24 through-hole
• Functional feature: galvanic isolation between input and output

How to use

Mount the DIL-24 module on a PCB designed for through-hole components, following recommended pin connections for input, output and ground. Provide an appropriate input DC supply within the converter’s accepted input range and observe polarity. Use proper layout practices for isolated supplies, keeping input and output grounds separated and routing high-current traces to minimize voltage drop. Additional bulk capacitors on the input or output may be used if required by the application, respecting the converter’s specified capacitor recommendations.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the module’s input voltage stays within the specified range and allow adequate airflow around the package to prevent overheating under continuous load. When using the isolated output to feed sensitive analog circuits, place decoupling close to the load and maintain physical separation from noisy switching elements.
