RECOM Introduces 30W Converter In 2 x 1" Shielded Package

July 08, 2008 by Jeff Shepard

RECOM introduced what it describes as a space saving 30W converter that combines miniature dimensions with wide input voltage ranges – an optimized combination for wireless network, telecom/datacom, industrial control systems, measurement, semiconductor equipment and many other applications.

The new RECOM-standard for the RP-30xxxxSF_DF and RP-30-xxxxSFW_DFW now offers a package size of 2 x 1". By substantially reducing the common industry-standard size and by increasing the efficiency up to 91%, RECOM is now able to provide a product well suited for space critical applications.

High efficiency grades up to 91% are a must for these galvanically isolated dc-dc converters, and guarantee trouble free operation at ambient temperatures exceeding 60°C, without external cooling measures (packing density reaches 2.28W/cm3). Fast and easy to clip Heat-sinks (also available pre-mounted on module) with the corresponding fixtures can be supplied by RECOM to further increase the operating temperature range, should this be required. Simple external filtering (also available from RECOM) ensures class B of EMV-standard EN-55022. The outputs are trimmable in the range ±10% of nominal output voltage and a remote ON/OFF function enables external ON/OFF switching.

The new RP30 series are available with 2:1 inputs 9-18, 18-36 and 36-75V as well as 4:1 input ranges 9-36 and 18-75V. Output voltages are set at 3,3, 5, 12 and 15V. Both series also offer dual outputs with 5, 12 and ±15V. The output rating is 30W, the isolation voltage 1600Vdc. The casing consists of 6-sided nickel coated copper material. Homogenous epoxy-potting qualifies these converters for the most stringent temperature and vibration conditions.

OEM-volume prices (quantity 1000 units) for this new product generation range from $42.53 for converters with 2:1 input range to $46.95 for converters with 4:1 input range.
