Q: What makes your company unique? A: Beyond product performance, price, and initial quality, we put great emphasis on long term
reliability. Like a caged animal, high voltage is always trying to escape. Many failure mecha-nisms take years to manifest themselves, especially in harsh environments. Our successful high voltage design combines electrical engineering with chemistry and physics. We follow strict design rules and only employ proven components and processes. Our products are expected to last decades in critical applications. Customers must trust the EMCO brand.
Q: What distinguishes your products from the competition?A: Our new products achieve leading performance and exceptional reliability by leveraging our
40+ year history of continuous high voltage research, product development and design work. We know what works, and what doesn’t. We’ve analyzed long term failure mechanisms in harsh environments, and employ preventative practices in all of our products, while remaining cost-competitive.
Q: What were the most significant series of events affecting your company in the past year?A: As real estate became more available and affordable, we invested in our infrastructure to
support our increased design and production demand. During 2011 we opened new manu-facturing plants in California and Nevada and a new Research and Design center. We have also recruited new talent to bolster our capabilities.
Q: Where is your current product emphasis? What products do you see as being hottest this year?A: Our new A Series of DC to high voltage DC converters feature a Z height of only one quarter
of an inch, and occupy one tenth of an inch in total volume. This often allows the user to locate the high voltage source right where it is needed, eliminating the need to run cabling, connectors or long high voltage runs from a remote supply.
Q: What is your outlook for this product line?A: High voltage solves many scientific problems such as DNA sequencing and semi-conductor
processing. As new and existing technologies are commercialized and become more portable, our products frequently offer an order of magnitude reduction in size, weight, and cost, enabling our customers to produce a more elegant and efficient end product.
Q: Who are your target end-users?A: We offer component-level products to leading medical, scientific, semi-conductor, and other
equipment manufacturers where reliability and up-time is critical.
Q: To what do you attribute your company’s success? A: Humble dedication to providing the best products and support to our customers, with the goal
of earning their trust and building long term relationships.

The new A Series from EMCO
High Voltage Corporation sets a new
industry standard in high voltage
miniaturization. This unique package
occupies one tenth of a cubic inch of
volume, and features an extremely low
profile of only 0.250 inches (6.35mm).
Controllable output voltages range
from 100 volts to 6000 volts. These
component-sized converters are ideal
for applications requiring minimal size
and weight. Turn-on voltage is very
low at less than 0.7 volts, allowing for
wide output voltage operating range.
Use of a resonant, quasi-sinewave
oscillator and fully shielded transformer
result in clean, reliable high voltage
conversion with inherently low ripple,
EMI/RFI and input ripple current,
making this product ideal for integra-
tion into noise sensitive equipment.
A separate high impedance control pin
is standard and is designed for external
error amplifier and/or DAC control
in closed or open loop systems. Output
power is 1 watt standard, with 1.5
watts available as an option. A pro-
prietary encapsulation process and
custom 94V0 compliant, high perfor-
mance formula are used to achieve
excellent high voltage and thermal
properties. Isolation is +/- 500V bias
on the output return. Input to output
leakage current is very low at less
than 100 nA and coupling capaci-
tance is also low at <250 pF.
The new A Series leverages EMCO’s
Best-in-Class long term reliability,
utilizing proven DC to high voltage
DC conversion technology, perfected
by over four decades of high voltage
design experience in the most
demanding applications.
This series is designed and manufac-
tured to provide consistent, built-in,
long term reliability that EMCO
products are known for. The A Series is
manufactured in EMCO’s “Flex-Chain”
lean, demand-flow process that
provides maximum quality, short lead
times, and assures our customers the
lowest total cost of ownership.
Leading the High Voltage
Manufacturing Industry
EMCO High Voltage Corporation leads
the industry through innovative design
and manufacturing of high voltage
power supplies and related products. In
fact, many of today's industry standard
footprints for high voltage modules are
EMCO originated designs.
EMCO’s uncompromising commitment
to quality and reliability throughout the
last four decades has resulted in our
products becoming a trusted part in
many generations of customer solutions.
All EMCO products have an operating
frequency greater than 25 kHz, above
the human audio frequency range.

The new FS Series of miniature DC
to High Voltage DC converters from EMCO
High Voltage Corporation sets a new
standard of performance and reliability.
FS Series design performance is greatly
improved by leveraging EMCO’s proven
high voltage power conversion technology
and adding new “Smart Features” to
enhance long-term reliability and surviv-
ability in harsh, mission-critical applications.
The FS Series provides outputs ranging
from 200VDC through 6000VDC, and
is offered in a unique, miniature, cost
effective, light weight, PC mount package.
In addition to arc protection, short circuit
protection, and output surge current limiting,
the FS Series adds over-temperature
protection, and input over-voltage protec-
tion, creating a module able to survive
unintended fault conditions, thereby
maximizing durability in the field.
Automatic, non-latching shutdown is
activated when pre-set temperature or
input voltage limits are exceeded. A
latching error signal output is issued to alert
the host system of the event. An externally
controlled disable function is standard.
Resonant, quasi-sinewave power conversion
topology and a fully shielded transformer
create low ripple and low EMI/RFI, allowing
for easy integration into compact, noise
sensitive equipment.
By offering a wide input voltage operating
range, starting at just 0.7V input, the FS
Series provides easy programming control
of the high voltage output. Advanced
internal thermal management techniques
and a unique housing design, combining
aluminum and plastic, provides optimized
thermal and stable, reliable high voltage
performance.
Using EMCO’s proprietary, superior
performance encapsulation formula and
time-proven processes, our factory delivers
a high voltage converter designed and
built for decades of failure-free operation
in demanding environments.
EMCO’s “Flex-Chain” demand-flow supply
chain guarantees maximum quality and
reliability, short lead-times, the most competi-
tive pricing in the industry, and delivers the
lowest cost of ownership possible.
