RECOM E-series DC/DC converters

RECOM has expanded its product portfolio with seven DC/DC converters called the E-series, which are lower-cost versions of the most popular converters in the company’s industrial products portfolio. Quality has been maintained by optimising the design, streamlining the manufacturing process and by high-volume production on the company’s SMT-production lines.

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

The 1 W isolated converters feature 5V input/output and operate with efficiencies up to 75% at ambient temperatures from -40 to +85°C. Such converters are often used for isolation of interfaces or bus systems and the company offers five different case and pin-out styles for drop-in compatibility. The E-series 1 W converters are fully UL60950 certified.

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). The regulators need no external components and due to their high efficiencies of 92%, heat sinks are superfluous.
