1500W Power Combiner

The Ideal Diode Power Combiner takes two power sources and combines them into one, creating redundancy without sacrificing efficiency.

A power diode may drop a volt or more when carrying 25 Amps. This may not sound like a lot, but at 25 Amps this equates to 25W which is a lot of power to get rid of as heat. The Ideal Diode Power Combiner typically drops less than 100mV at the same current, equating to less than 2.5W.

Features

60 VDC, 25 Amps (1500W max.)
Inputs reverse polarity protected and tolerant of transients up to +100V
Robust mechanical enclosure with integrated cable strain-relief
Conformally-coated PCB for moisture resistance
