RECOM has expanded its low-cost, highly-efficient R-78E switching regulator series with modules featuring 9, 12 and 15V output voltages. This series is designed to offer all of the advantages of a standard switching regulator (high efficiency, wide input range, accurate output voltage regulation) but at a lower cost.

Like the existing 3.3 and 5V versions, these modules are also equipped with short circuit protection. Measuring only 11.6x8.5x10.4mm, their compact TO-220-compatible SIP3 package saves valuable board space and with efficiency up to 91%, these higher power versions of the R-78E still do not require a heat sink.

Operating over a temperature range from -40 to +85°C and a wide input range, the R-78E series is flexible enough to handle everything from battery operated systems, controls and sensors, positioning systems and robotics, to medical-grade applications, cooling systems and fans, telecomms and highly sensitive measurement equipment.

The modules are IEC/EN60950-1 certified and carry a three year warranty. Samples are available from all of RECOM's global distributors.
