Certified DC-DC isolated converters and liquid/air-cooled OBC platforms tailored for Argentina's mining, fleet conversion, industrial, and telecommunications sectors.
Argentina’s rapid industrial evolution—driven by expanding lithium mining operations in the high-altitude Northern provinces (Jujuy, Salta, and Catamarca), urban fleet electrification in Greater Buenos Aires, and heavy agriculture mechanization in the Pampas—presents a unique matrix of environmental and electrical challenges. Power system engineers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) operating within the Argentine market face stringent operational requirements that standard off-the-shelf power converters fail to meet.
System designers exporting electrical equipment or building localized industrial platforms for Argentina must solve three core electrical constraints:
To maximize system modularity and minimize total cost of ownership (TCO) for Argentine original equipment manufacturers, isolated DC-DC converters are standardized around Distributed Open Standards Architecture (DOSA) footprints. By utilizing half-brick, quarter-brick, eighth-brick, sixteenth-brick, and 1/32nd brick power modules, system architects can scale power output from 15W up to 1000W+ on a single backplane without redesigning physical board footprints.
| Module Form Factor | Typical Power Range | Nominal Input Voltages (DC) | Primary Industrial Application in Argentina |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1/32nd & 1/16th Brick | 15W – 100W | 9-36V, 18-75V | Remote Telematics, PLC Control Modules, Railway Sensors |
| Eighth & Quarter Brick | 75W – 350W | 18-75V, 36-75V, 16-160V | Telecom Base Stations, AgTech Instrumentation, 48V Bus Conversion |
| Half Brick & Full Brick | 350W – 1000W+ | 180-400V, 300-500V, 400-650V | High-Voltage EV Auxiliary Power Units (APU), Mining Draglines |
| Integrated OBC Assembly | 1.8kW – 6.6kW | 85-265V AC (Grid Input) | Commercial Vehicle Battery Chargers, Electric Bus Fleets, Forklifts |
Argentina’s commitment to urban decarbonization—highlighted by electric bus pilot programs in Buenos Aires and Córdoba, as well as light electric commercial vehicle production—requires high-reliability On-Board Chargers (OBC) and DC-DC converters. Modern e-Mobility platforms rely on 2-in-1 integrated power assemblies (combining a 3.3kW/6.6kW battery charger with an auxiliary 1.8kW DC-DC converter to power 12V/24V low-voltage control systems).
Key technical considerations for local fleet integrators include:
Engineering-backed power conversion deployments across Argentina's key industrial, transit, and natural resource sectors.
In the high-altitude salt flats of Jujuy and Salta (4,000m+ elevation), isolated DC-DC converters power brine extraction pumps, remote telemetry rigs, and heavy-duty off-highway haul trucks with high vibration resistance and wide temperature tolerance (-40°C to +85°C).
Providing IP67 liquid-cooled 3.3kW and 6.6kW On-Board Chargers for electric buses and last-mile delivery vans in Buenos Aires, Rosario, and Mendoza, ensuring fast recharge cycles and low grid noise.
Powering cellular base stations, microwave repeaters, and off-grid solar-storage installations across rural Patagonia with quarter-brick and half-brick 48V isolated DC-DC modules offering ultra-high conversion efficiency (up to 96%).
Addressing key engineering, regulatory, and logistics queries from Argentine importers, contract manufacturers, and system integrators.
All exported isolated DC-DC converters and OBC modules are manufactured in ISO 9001 / IATF 16949 certified facilities and comply with international IEC/EN 62368-1 (IT & Industrial safety), IEC 61851 (EV charging safety), and EN 50155 (railway standards). These international test reports provide seamless technical documentation for INTI certification and national S-Mark electrical safety compliance in Argentina.
For AC-input systems like On-Board Chargers, we recommend specifying ultra-wide input models accepting 85V AC to 265V AC. For DC intermediate bus architectures, our 4:1 wide-input isolated modules (such as 9-36V DC, 18-75V DC, or 180-400V DC) absorb heavy line surges and voltage drops without interrupting downstream logic rails.
At high altitudes, lower air density reduces convection thermal cooling capability. We provide custom thermal derating curves, conduction-cooled baseplate brick designs, and IP67 liquid-cooled assemblies that transfer heat directly to liquid cold-plates or metal chassis enclosures, ensuring zero power derating up to 4,000+ meters.
Yes. Our 3.3kW and 6.6kW OBC modules feature fully programmable CAN 2.0B interfaces (supporting CANopen and SAE J1939 protocols). Baud rates, charging voltage curves, cut-off currents, and error telemetry flags can be tailored to communicate directly with your proprietary Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) or Battery Management System (BMS).
Standard isolated brick modules and evaluation samples are available from factory stock with rapid air freight dispatch to major Argentine ports (Buenos Aires / Ezeiza). Custom OEM/ODM power solutions feature structured prototyping phases with volume production lead times typically ranging from 4 to 8 weeks depending on packaging and custom firmware requirements.
