Recom Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 5V dc Output Voltage, 6.5 → 32V dc Input Voltage, 2A Output Current, 1

The Recom R-78Bxx series are highly efficient, non-isolated switching regulators. They offer a high-quality product at a low cost in production quantity. They are ideally suited to replace 78xx linear regulators, as well as being pin compatible.

The convertor has a high-voltage input range and there is no need for heat sinks, due to little energy being wasted. It has a wide input range with continuous short circuit protection and no external components are needed to work efficiently.

• Wide operating temperature of -40 to +70 °C at full load
• Pin compatible with TO220 linear regulators
• High efficiency, non-isolated, no need for heatsinks
• Requires no external components
• Continuous short circuit protection
• Low ripple and noise
• Compact size, ensuring space saving
• Positive to negative converter

Rest assured that your power supply is compatible with your equipment with the help of this switching regulator from RECOM. With its wide input voltage range between 6.5 and 32V DC, it's a practical way of adapting many common power supplies to work safely with your low-voltage devices. As the unit achieves efficiency rates of up to 94%, it minimises energy lost as heat and doesn't need a heatsink to work safely. The device's narrow dimensions of 11.5 (width) x 17.5 (height) x 8.5mm (depth) mean it has a small footprint and fits easily into busy PCB-mounted systems.

• Built-in short-circuit protection automatically restarts regulator after tripping for minimal downtime
• Simple through-hole mounting for fast installation on PCBs
• Line regulation of ±0.5% so you get consistent output voltages
• Wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, so it withstands harsh environments

• Remote controls
• Lighting systems
• Vehicle dashboards
• Consumer electronics

Yes, this converter is suitable for radio applications as its ripple and noise rating of 75mV means it doesn't produce much electrical noise. This helps minimise disruption to radio communications.
