Recom Power, a manufacturer of AC/DC electronic power supplies and DC/DC converters, has developed a new configuration for its switching regulator portfolio, R-78K-2.0. The low-cost R-78K-2.0 series is now available with 90-degree, pre-formed, through-hole pins for horizontal mounting where a low profile of just 8.5 mm offers design benefits when integrated into the existing circuit boards.
The new version R-78K-2.0(L) has the same electrical specifications and fixed output options from 1.2 V to 15 V, with a maximum input voltage of 36 V.
The low-profile, horizontal mounting option suits products with component height restrictions and is complemented by the high efficiency achieved, peaking at 96%. This means that no heatsinking is required, further saving space and costs. The R-78K-2.0(L) series has a maximum case temperature of +110°C, allowing operation to +90°C ambient for some variants without derating, dependent on the input voltage. Quiescent current is up to 1 mA for energy savings with support for extended battery life in portable equipment.
Input under-voltage and short-circuit protection is provided, and the parts are certified to IEC/EN 62368-1 3rd edition.
