RECOMs new high input voltage switching regulator R-78HE excels in versatility and quality for your industrial 48V battery powered equipment. The R-78HE5.0-0.3 is a low-cost industrial grade switching regulator in a classic SIP3 3-pin format that will accept an input voltage up to 72VDC (100V DC surge) to supply a regulated 5V/300mA short-circuit protected output. 

With the RAC03-K, RECOM has introduced one of the smallest three watt solutions on the market. This versatile converter can be used in a wide range of applications due to complete certifications for ITE and household standards. In a compact 1in² footprint, these modules deliver an output power of three watts from -40 to 60°C and two watts up to 80°C. 

RECOM’s newest addition to its low power AC/DC portfolio includes durable modules with full certifications for household and ITE applications. Their 4kV isolation, 150% peak power capability and -40 to +90°C operating temperature make them suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.

The latest innovation from RECOM fits a universal AC input power supply inside the case of a standard IEC mains filter. It features safe and touchable DC outputs and is easy to install. The design of the RAC05-K/C14 fits a complete five watt power supply into a standard C14 mains filter housing, without altering the case size and at a lower cost than many power supplies or mains filters alone.

It has been announced that RECOM Power has acquired 75% of Power Control Systems based in San Vendemiano near Conegliano, Italy. This well-established company specialises in the design and manufacture of AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies from three watts up to 10kW for Railway, Medical, Military and Industrial applications. 

The R2SX series of compact two watt DC/DC converters are suited for bus isolation and a wide range of industrial automation control equipment. Their low profile and compact footprint saves space in your PCB design. The R2SX is an open-frame two watt SMD isolated DC/DC converter with either 3kVDC/ one minute isolation (/H version) or 1kVDC/ one minute isolation options. 

Adding to its medical portfolio, RECOM has introduced the REM2 series which offers versatile features and complete medical certifications. These modular DC/DC converters provide engineers with more freedom to develop their PCB layout, knowing that they will comply with the stringent regulations for medical certifications.

The new DC/DC converter series REC15E-Z from RECOM comprises fully specified 15W devices with wide input voltage ranges. They increase flexibility by accepting several standard bus voltages. Due to their compact footprint of one inch by one inch, the converters are suitable for cost sensitive applications where board space is at a premium.

SMD versions have been released by RECOM for its 3.5, 5, and 6W medical-grade DC/DC modules. All key features required for critical medical applications are now available for your SMD design. The REM3.5E, REM5E, and REM6E series of medical-grade regulated DC/DC converters now come with either pins or SMD.

It has been announced that RECOM’s railway portfolio has been further extended with the new RP12-AR DC/DC converter series. These compact 12W one by one inch modules operate with 90% efficiency and up to +88°C ambient at full load. The RP12-AR series DC/DC converters are designed for railway rolling stock applications, but they are also suitable for non-railway high-voltage battery applications. 

  RECOM has introduced evaluation platforms for its DC/DC railway converters up to 240W. They are available in either high voltage (-1) or high current (-2) layouts and include a RIA12 surge stopper. The R-REF04-RIA12-1 and R-REF04-RIA12-2 are complete reference designs for railway applications.

  RECOM has extended its low power DC/DC portfolio with the R0.5ZX and R1ZX series. The R0.5ZX and R1ZX are based on the 2kVDC isolated low profile R1SX SMD series but include an internal linear regulator to give a precise, load independent and low noise output.

Aiming to show its development expertise, RECOM, has introduced medical-grade DC/DC modules which offer 3.5, 5 and 6W. These converters reportedly offer all key features required for critical medical applications while keeping down the cost of these modular solutions. 

  A more rigorous approach to the Medical Device Directive could be a burden rather than a revitalising tonic, suggests Steve Roberts, CTO, Recom

  RECOM recently released a REC15E-Z series of 15W isolated DC/DC converters features wide input ranges at low cost in the popular 1”x1” case size. This saves a significant amount of PCB space, while the wide input ranges increase flexibility by accepting several standard bus voltages.

 The latest addition to RECOM’s railway portfolio are two 40 and 60W DC/DC converter series in quarter-brick packages with an ultra-wide input voltage range from 14 to 160VDC making them a universal solution for railway rolling stock applications and high voltage battery systems.

New medical-grade DC/DC modules in a power range from 15W to 30W, which can be easily integrated in medical designs due to their compact case size and full medical certifications, have been introduced by RECOM. The enhanced properties make these modules suited for medical-grade applications as they are strong in reinforced isolation of 5kVAC, and low leakage current, while offering wide 4:1 input voltage ranges. 

Steve Roberts, Technical Director at RECOM, has published his new AC/DC Book of Knowledge for electronica 2018. The book aims to share Roberts’ electronics knowledge with students and engineers from around the world and RECOM will be handing out copies to visitors at Hall A5/210 at electronica 2018.

The latest RBB10 buck-boost converter with DOSA footprint and extra-low profile has been presented by RECOM. These power modules can reportedly reliably provide trimmed output voltages from a wide range of input voltages in applications such as USB voltage regenerators, 3.3 to five volt converters and battery regulators. 

  RECOM has extended the output options for its latest 15W and 20W AC/DC power supplies. The complete range of single output (5-48VDC), dual output options (12 and 15VDC) in both pinned and wired versions is now available.
