Recom Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 12V dc Output Voltage, 15 → 42V dc Input Voltage, 1A Output Current, 1

The Recom R-78Cxx series are highly efficient, non-isolated switching regulators are ideally suited to replace the 1 Amp 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 short circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

• Low profile
• Pin compatible with LM78xx linear regulators
• High efficiency, non-isolated, no need for heatsinks
• Fully protected for short circuit
• Positive to negative convertor
• Low ripple and noise

Step down the voltage supply in your system with this single-output switching regulator from RECOM. It accepts input voltages between 15 and 42V DC and converts them to an output voltage of 12V DC to provide steady power to your low-voltage devices. For additional electrical safety, it has built-in short circuit protection. Thanks to its small dimensions of 11.6 (L) x 8.5 (W) x 10.4mm (H), this unit takes up minimal space in your setup.

• Mean time between failures of 8,600,000 hours at +25°C for long-term reliability
• High efficiency of 92 to 96% to limit energy waste and optimise performance
• Light weight of 2g minimises strain on the mounting surface
• Non-conductive plastic case reduces the risk of electric shocks to boost workplace safety
• Thermal shutdown feature prevents overheating

• Digital cameras
• Handheld gaming consoles
• Portable controllers

This switching regulator has a wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C, making it a good choice for use in harsh industrial environments.
