RECOM releases miniature AC/DCs

These parts fit a standard 1.5 ‘module’ DIN rail slot with no restrictions on spacing to adjacent modules.

The series provides single regulated outputs of 3.3V (12W-rated), 5, 12, 15, 24, and 30VDC rated at 15W, all of which are fully protected against over-voltage, overload, and short circuits. In the event of an overload, the parts exhibit a constant current limit characteristic, suitable for non-linear loads, with a self-resetting ‘hiccup’ mode for short circuits. They operate within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with derating from 50°C ambient in still air.

The RACM15E-K series holds extensive certifications, including IEC/EN62368-1, IEC/EN60335-1, IEC61558, and IEC60601-1/ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 for safety. For medical applications, the parts are rated 2MOPP, over-voltage category II (OVCII) up to 5000m altitude, and meet ‘BF’ touch current specifications for applied-part applications. They can be used in OVCIII environments up to 3000m according to IEC61558-2-16 and IEC60335-1. The no-load current is typically less than 100mW, meeting eco-design requirements, and they comply with conducted EMI standard EN55032 Class B with a floating load.

With an efficiency of up to 86%, the RACM15E-K parts run cool and offer long life and high reliability, boasting an MTBF of over 1 million hours according to MIL-HDBK-217, in a ground benign environment.

Typical applications for the RACM15E-K series include industrial automation, industrial measurement equipment, medical homecare devices, building automation, monitoring, and household equipment.

Michael Schrutka, MSc. Product Manager AC/DC of RECOM said: “These AC/DCs are easy to integrate into any system with their ‘plug and play’ connections and comprehensive certifications.”

The series comes with a three-year warranty, and samples and OEM pricing are available through authorised distributors or directly from RECOM.
