Low Cost RECOM dc/dc Converters With UL Approval

RECOM has expanded its product portfolio with seven new cost-effective DC/DC converters. These are low cost versions of the most popular converters in RECOM’s range. It has been possible to keep the quality on the same high level but to reduce the price by optimizing the design, streamlining the manufacturing process and by producing them in high volumes on RECOM’s own SMT-production lines.

The new converters:

• R1SE-0505 (1 W unregulated in SMD case)
• REE-0505S & RBE-0505S (1 W unregulated in SIP7 case with different pin-outs)
• ROE-0505S (1 W unregulated in SIP4 case)
• RKE-0505S/H (1 W unregulated in SIP7 case with 3.75kVDC isolation)
• R-78E5.0 (500mA switching regulator in SIP3 case)
• ROF-78E5.0 (500mA switching regulator, open frame SMD construction)

The 1W isolated converters feature 5V input/output and operate with efficiencies up to 75% at ambient temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Such converters are often used for isolation of interfaces or bus systems and RECOM offer five different case and pin-out styles for drop-in compatibility. Despite their low cost the 1W converters are fully UL60950 certified thus reducing the cost and certification time for the end-use application.

The R-78E and ROF-78E series offer all the advantages of a switching regulator (high efficiency, wide input voltage range and accurate output voltage regulation) for a low cost. The regulators need no external components and due to their high efficiencies of 92%, heat sinks are not required.

There has been no compromise in quality. All of the new E-series converters carry RECOM’s usual full 3 year warranty.
