Modern home automation solutions are finding their way more often into contemporary building installations, but many electronic controllers and sensors require an efficient DC supply rather than the 115VAC/230VAC available from the socket. With the RAC03-SCR/277 series, RECOM brings regulated mini power supplies onto the market that are designed to fit behind standard wall outlets.

Railway technology sets high technical and quality standards for all of the components in their systems. Extreme conditions such as vibration, shock, extreme heat and cold are all part of the daily routine.

The new RACD100 and RACD150 series are perfect for indoor and outdoor applications whether they are running on 115VAC, 230VAC or even up to 277VAC including road, street and walkway lighting, LED signage and outdoor area lighting for car parks, public buildings and tunnels. The RACD150 series is a 150W fully sealed IP67 LED driver with an extended universal input voltage range of 90-305VAC and constant current output from 6.3A to 3.2A at voltages...

There is much to be learnt when converting conventional lighting to LEDs. The participants in the annual LED Practice Developer Forum in Würzburg gained useful practical experience of the advantages and pitfalls when implementing LED lighting systems. In addition to informative lectures and educational seminars, the attendees had the chance to talk directly with the manufacturers as part of a tabletop exhibition.

RECOM’s new RAM, RAZ and RTM converter families are the first low power DC-DC modules to feature full SMD construction including SMD transformers. This technology-leap significantly improves the production reliability and permits specifications thus far impossible for subminiature converters such as very high isolation (up to 4kVDC), wide ambient temperature operation (-40°C to +100°C) and full compatibility with vapour-phase reflow soldering...

RECOM have today announced the introduction of a new low cost 1 watt DC-DC converter, known as the R1SE series, following the introduction of two new SMT lines in Taiwan. In addition RECOM have refined the design and manufacturing process enabling them to produce cost effective versions of specially selected DC-DC converters.

Standard LED drivers require the input voltage be higher than the output voltage which can cause problems when working with the newest high power LEDs and powering them from low voltage sources like solar cells or batteries.

With two newly established SMT lines in Taiwan, RECOM has now refined the design and manufacturing process to produce even more cost effective versions of specially selected DC/DC converters in batches of 100.000 or more pieces.

RECOM has consolidated its lighting activities in a new division to better meet the requirements of developers and architects in the fast moving lighting market as of August 1st, 2012. At the same time RECOM has relocated their offices from Dreieich, Germany to a new larger office in Neu-Isenburg/Frankfurt, Germany to accommodate the expansion.

Advances in LED technology require low power of 1W or 3W for LED-illumination. The two families meet the growing demand for low cost drivers below the previously available products with 12W, 20W, 30W and 60W power. With an input voltage range of 90 to 264AC the new drivers can be used universally on all networks worldwide.

LED lighting is booming! Especially for LED strings and multi-chip arrays, the advance is enormous. The required input voltage for buck-drivers increases with the number of LEDs which have to be supplied with constant current. Currently available models had a limit of approximately 40V.

TRIAC-dimmers were originally designed to dim incandescent filament lamps. Already the use of CFL lamps causes many problems and the story is continued with LED lamps. LED lamps are the future to illuminate our houses and also public/commercial rooms. Therefore reliable solutions are a must to get the acceptance for these innovative light sources. The elimination of traditional lamp types increases the need for alternative dimming methods.

Standard LED drivers (buck topology) require the input voltage be higher than the output voltage which can cause problems when working with the newest high power LEDs and powering them from low voltage sources like solar cells or batteries. Buck driver solutions, which must always have a higher input voltage than an output voltage, typically result in a design that requires multiple drivers for multiple led strings with lower forward voltages. Th...

The RACV30 is the first of a new series of constant voltage LED drivers, ideal for powering LED strips and LED modules in applications such as cove lighting, signage, back lighting, channel letters, displays or under cabinet lighting. The input voltage range of 90 to 264VAC assures full functionality worldwide. The new drivers provide up to 30 watts and are available with outputs of 12VDC or 24VDC. The output voltages are closely regulated to com...

It is an acknowledged trend that LED lighting is moving to higher power and this realized by either connecting LEDs in arrays or by wiring many LEDs in series. The required LED voltage grows proportionally to the number of LEDs in the chain or array.

Long-life LED-systems only make sense if the driver does not fail prematurely. Our RACD30 have a higher life expectancy than most power LEDs. Efficiency and power factor set new trends in this product class.

RECOM extends its product family of isolated AC/DC-power modules with fully regulated single- or dual outputs ideal for applications with low power or standby function.

RECOM announces the release of an extension to their range of isolated AC/DC-LED-Drivers with constant current-output in 3 to 6 Watt power supply. Advances in LED technology require low power of 1W or 3W for LED-illumination. The two new families meet the growing demand for low cost drivers below the previously available products with 12W, 20W, 30W and 60W power. With an input voltage range of 90 to 264AC the new drivers can be used universally o...

The new RACD03- and RACD06-families are low power LED-drivers with constant current supply. With high isolation and long lifetime the compact driver-modules are ideal for applications where one to six high luminosity LEDs are used.

RECOM announced the release of a new range of isolated AC/DC power supply modules with very low standby input currents, ideally suited for low power applications or standby power supplies.
