Phoenix Contact Quint Diode Modules


Reliability is key for robust power systems. The new Quint Diode modules are designed for redundant solutions that require isolation and N+1 redundancy. Two versions are available: one for 12-24 V DC operation and another for 48 V DC applications.

The power supplies’ housings are made of extruded aluminum. This gives them an excellent cooling characteristic and a longer service life.

To create a fully redundant wiring sequence, the Quint Diodes offer two “+” and “-” wiring terminals. It is now possible to wire both “+” and “-” from the power supply to the load distribution point.

Compared to typical diode bridges that use Schottky or Silicon diodes for redundant power supplies, the Quint Diodes use MOSFETs. These MOSFETs are up to 70 percent more efficient than standard diode components. This limits the effect of a diode module on the load of the power supplies.

These power supplies carry UL 508 Listing as well as Class I, Div. 2 approval, making them well suited for all industrial applications, including critical process industry installations.
