Technical Specification
Mega, Giga Series
Eighth-brick
w/ Baseplate
High Efficiency, Isolated DC/DC Converter, with Baseplate
This technical addendum contains additional specifica-
tions for the baseplated verison of the PowerQor Mega
and Giga Eighth-brick series of converters. This unit is
manufactured by adding an industry standard size base-
plate to the non-baseplated eighth-brick converter using
standard mounting techniques. The baseplated version
allows for optional heatsinking in severe thermal environ-
ments or for mounting to a cold plate. Please refer to the
EMLxx and EGLxx specification sheets for all specifica-
tions that are not included in this addendum.

NOTES
1) M3 screws used to bolt unit’s baseplate to other surfaces (such as heatsink)
must not exceed 0.100” (2.54 mm) depth below the surface of the baseplate
2) Applied torque per screw should not exceed 6in-lb. (0.7 Nm)
3) Baseplate flatness tolerance is 0.004” (.10mm) TIR for surface
4) Pins 1-3, 5-7 are 0.040” (1.02mm) diameter with 0.080” (2.03 mm) diameter
standoff shoulders.
5) Pins 4 and 8 are 0.062” (1.57 mm) diameter with 0.100” (2.54 mm)
diameter standoff shoulders.
6) Other pin extension lengths available. Recommended pin length is 0.03”
(0.76mm) greater than the PCB thickness.
7) All Pins: Material - Copper Alloy; Finish - Tin/Lead over Nickel plate
8) Undimensioned components shown are for visual reference only.
9) Weight: 1.3 oz. (35 g) typical
10) All dimensions in inches (mm)
Tolerances: x.xx +/-0.02 in. (x.x +/-0.5mm)
x.xxx +/-0.010 in. (x.xx +/-0.25mm)
11) Workmanship: Meets or exceeds IPC-A-610C Class II
12) UL/TUV standards require a clearance greater than 0.04” (1.02mm)
between input and output for Basic insulation. This issue should be consid-
ered if any copper traces are on the top side of the user’s board. Note
that the ferrite cores are considered part of the input/primary circuit.
