VPT VSCPL1210SG
The VSCPL1210SG is a high-reliability COTS DC-DC converter designed for NewSpace applications. It features radiation-tested components, up to 10 A output capability, and robust performance validated for LEO missions and NASA Class D programs. Its optimized thermal design and radiation tolerance (up to 30 krad(Si) TID) make it ideal for cost-sensitive space systems requiring guaranteed reliability.
The VSCPL1210SG Series is a commercial off-the-shelf DC-DC converter designed for the ‘NewSpace’ market. Performance is guaranteed through the use of radiation lot acceptance tested (RLAT) components. Our proprietary packaging creates a dual side heatsinking option with very low outgassing.
The surface mount design enables streamlined reflow soldering alongside other SMT components for simplified board-level integration. Radiation tested to 42 MeV/mg/cm² with no destructive SEE events (SEGR, SEB, and SEL) and tested to 40 krad(Si), guaranteed to 30 krad(Si), for TID in accordance with VPT’s in-house radiation hardness assurance (RHA) plan.
The VSCPL1210SG Series is designed for smaller satellites in low Earth orbits (LEO), and NASA Class D missions where the balance of cost and guaranteed performance is critical.
