AC/DCs from RECOM tailored to reflow processes
Traditionally, board-mounted AC/DC converters have been restricted to through-pin technology. However, RECOM has now simplified automated assembly by introducing components rated for JEDEC standard surface-mount reflow.
The RAC03-K/SMT series offers a cost-effective solution, providing 3W output at 3.3, 5, 12, 15, 18, or 24VDC from a universal AC input of 85 to 265VAC (120 to 370VDC), all within a compact 27.7 x 27.83mm footprint, including 'gullwing' SMT terminations. The height of the package is 19mm. These components can operate up to an ambient temperature of 60°C without derating (50°C for 3.3 and 5V outputs), and up to 80°C at reduced power.
The RAC03-K/SMT series adheres to common safety standards such as IEC/EN/UL62368-1, EN60335-1, and IEC61558-1. The components are classified as Limited Power Source, reinforced isolation, Class II, and suitable for over-voltage category OVCII installations up to 6000m altitude (IEC 60335-1). EMC directive standards are also met, including conducted emissions to ‘Class B’ without the need for external components (floating output). No-load power consumption is typically 100mW, and the components meet Eco-design standards for standby use.
The RAC03-K/SMT DC outputs are regulated and fully protected against over-current and short circuits. Enhancing reliability further, the series achieves an MTBF close to 2 million hours according to MIL-HDBK-217, GB conditions at 25°C ambient.
These high-efficiency and reliable components are ideal for a wide range of applications, including IoT, home and industrial automation, sensor power, household and monitoring devices, as well as for housekeeping auxiliary power supplies in industrial products.
“We take pride in making our power products easy to integrate into customers’ end-equipment and the RAC03-K/SMT is a perfect example,” said Michael Schrutka, MSc. AC/DC Product Manager at RECOM. “The parts can be reflow-soldered, eliminating the need for a costly, extra hand-soldering production stage”.
The RAC03-K/SMT series includes a three-year warranty. Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorised distributors or directly from RECOM.
