Backlight inverter is protected for
outdoor use
DC/AC inverter features a vacuum-encapsulated design to ensure reliable CCF lamp ignition for LCDs used in outside, cold storage or other low-temperature environments.
The E220 Series DC/AC inverter from Endicott Research Group combines up to 12W of output power with a vacuum-encapsulated design to ensure reliable CCF lamp ignition for LCDs used in outside, cold storage or other low-temperature environments The E220 provides starting voltages of up to 2300V RMS in a compact, low-profile, PCB-mountable package for LCDs ranging in size from 5.7 to 15in diagonal

Inverters shed light on full spectrum of LCDs
Feature-rich, highly intelligent inverters offer a wide input voltage range, open lamp detection, onboard PWM dimming and lamp current regulation.
It utilises ERG's EFD 20 low-profile transformer for a form factor of only 15.3 x 32 x 39.7mm, in a fully vacuum-encapsulated design pioneered by ERG that ensures maximum resistance to shock, vibration and humidity.
Operating range is -20 to +70C E220 Series inverters provide the ideal cold-start solution for CCFL-backlit LCDs that provide engine speed, ground speed, fuel consumption, oil pressure, coolant temperature and other critical information for vehicles used in heavy-duty, off-highway and mobile equipment applications.
Examples include forklift trucks in cold storage warehouses, agricultural and construction equipment used in harsh outside environments, EMS vehicles, and marine equipment.
ERG's E220 vacuum-encapsulated inverter operates at high efficiencies, typically approaching 80%, and is designed and tested using the actual OEM LCD display assembly to ensure system compatibility.
ERG's customised magnetics are self-shielding to minimise EMI and RFI interference.
The encapsulation of the inverter enables designers to better package it with respect to the rest of the system - only the pins are exposed, so only the bottom of their printed circuit board is a "high voltage" consideration.
This is especially useful for embedded designs.
All ERG E220 inverters carry a one-year warranty and are designed and manufactured in the USA Pricing for ERG's E220 Series inverters starts at US $9.78 in production quantities.
Delivery is 4 weeks ARO.
