Recom: New low cost switching regulator module for less than 1.60 EUR

RECOM’s new R-78E low cost switching regulator module offers all the advantages of a switching regulator (high efficiency, wide input voltage range, accurate output voltage regulation) but at a price level below 1.60 EUR for production quantities. The R-78E offers a risk-free, pre-tested solution that makes designing your own switching regulator circuit redundant.

The R-78E exceeds all the most commonly requested specifications, yet makes no compromise when it comes to quality and reliability as it comes with a full 3 year RECOM warranty. The input voltage covers the 7VDC to 28VDC range which allows operation from both an industrial 24V bus or from either a 9V, 12V or 24V battery systems. The converter is fully protected against overload, short circuit and over-temperature conditions. Due to the R-78E’s high efficiency of up to 92%, no heat-sink is required for operation over the full industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (+70°C without derating). The compact SIP3 package, TO-220 compatible, measures only 11.6 x 8.5 x 10.4mm, so saving valuable board space.

The R-78E specification and performance makes it the most cost effective choice for a wide spectrum of applications. The R-78E will save significant engineering and development time and keeping BOM’s under budget with this fully functional, fully tested and fully protected power supply solution.
