RECOM R-78W series switching regulator

Click2Contact

RECOM has introduced its wired switching regulator, the R-78W series. The wired version of the R-78 is intended for use in applications which use few or no printed circuit boards. In LED lighting solutions, a constant voltage for a fan can be generated by connecting the switching regulator in parallel with the LED driver. In prototyping and in many areas of electrical engineering, wired regulators are advantageous.

Output voltages of 5, 9, or 12 V with an output current of up to 500 mA are available. The module offers not only a wide input voltage range of 6.5 to 32 V but is also short-circuit protected (shutdown with automatic restart) and has an operating temperature range of -40 to +85°C. A protection diode is integrated into the module in order to prevent damage from reverse currents when switching off.

Due to its compact design (17.5 x 11.5 x 8.5 mm), the product is suitable for use in portable and battery-operated devices. No heat sink is required due to its high efficiency of up to 96%; this saves board space and lowers the mounting costs. The series is certified in accordance with EN 60950-1 and is RoHS 6/6 and REACH compliant.
