DC-DC converters in compact footprint saves significant PCB space

RECOM’s new REC15E-Z series of 15W isolated DC-DC converters provide wide input ranges at a low cost in a popular 1”x1” case size. This saves a notable amount of PCB space, while the broad input ranges improve flexibility by allowing several standard bus voltages. The converters are fully-specified devices with 15W, no minimum load, 1600VDC isolation, high efficiency up to 90% and low ripple/noise. The series was created for cost-sensitive applications where board space is at a premium. The wide 4:1 input ranges accept 9-36V or 18-75V to cover multiple supply options such as lead-acid or lithium batteries or 12/24/36/48V industrial bus voltages. The inputs are protected against transients of up to 100V and feature UVLO to protect batteries from being over-discharged. The single or dual outputs are continuously shielded against short circuit and overload conditions and can drive high-capacitive loads. They are completely certified to industrial EMC and safety standards and come with a three-year warranty.
