RECOM has announced the launch of its RPMB-3.0 range of 3A non-isolated DC/DCs in a DOSA-compatible LGA package with adjustable output from one to 24V and input voltage up to 36V. With the launch of its RPMB-3.0 series, RECOM has expanded its range of compact, non-isolated DC/DCs in its standard 12.19x12.19x3.75mm DOSA-compatible, thermally-enhanced LGA package. 

RECOM’s new 550W AC/DC power supplies support fanless operation with an innovative thermal baseplate design for medical, industrial, ITE and household applications.The new ultra-compact RACM550-G series from RECOM is designed to support up to 300 watts of continuous output power without cooling fans. 

RECOM has announced the launch of its RCDE-48 series LED driver modules with up to 60VDC input voltage and 1050mA constant current output with analogue or PWM deep dimming. RECOM has added to its offering of LED drivers with the RCDE-48 series, a range of modules that can provide up to 350mA, 700mA or 1050mA constant current to drive strings of up to 15 high brightness LEDs with efficiency up to 97%.

RECOM has announced the launch of its RHV2 and RHV3 series of certified, ultra high isolation DC/DC converters with single and dual outputs rated at 2W or 3W in a compact SIP16 package. RECOM has extended its range of unregulated DC/DC converters with the RHV2 and RHV3 series which feature ultra-high isolation ratings of 12.5kVAC/one minute or 20kVDC/one second in a compact SIP16 package, that measures just 45x15x17mm.

RECOM has announced the launch of a 3kW buck-boost high efficiency DC/DC converter in a half-brick baseplate-cooled package. The recently introduced RECOM RBBA3000 buck-boost, non-isolated, DC/DC converter features a maximum of 3kW of output power rating in a industry-standard half brick baseplate-cooled package.

RECOM Power has launched digital models for its entire product catalogue in collaboration with SnapEDA, the biggest platform for electronic component discovery & design-in. Symbols & footprints for RECOM’s entire catalogue are now available for free download via the RECOM and SnapEDA websites, helping engineers design electronics faster.

  RECOM’s latest addition to its DC/DC converter portfolio is one of the smallest in its class of low profile QFN-packaged buck regulator power modules. According to the company, the RPX-2.5 module is exceptional due to its flip-chip technology which increases power density and improves thermal management.

RECOMs new high input voltage switching regulator R-78HE excels in versatility and quality for your industrial 48V battery powered equipment. The R-78HE5.0-0.3 is a low-cost industrial grade switching regulator in a classic SIP3 3-pin format that will accept an input voltage up to 72VDC (100V DC surge) to supply a regulated 5V/300mA short-circuit protected output. 

With the RAC03-K, RECOM has introduced one of the smallest three watt solutions on the market. This versatile converter can be used in a wide range of applications due to complete certifications for ITE and household standards. In a compact 1in² footprint, these modules deliver an output power of three watts from -40 to 60°C and two watts up to 80°C. 

RECOM’s newest addition to its low power AC/DC portfolio includes durable modules with full certifications for household and ITE applications. Their 4kV isolation, 150% peak power capability and -40 to +90°C operating temperature make them suitable for a wide range of operating conditions.

The latest innovation from RECOM fits a universal AC input power supply inside the case of a standard IEC mains filter. It features safe and touchable DC outputs and is easy to install. The design of the RAC05-K/C14 fits a complete five watt power supply into a standard C14 mains filter housing, without altering the case size and at a lower cost than many power supplies or mains filters alone.

It has been announced that RECOM Power has acquired 75% of Power Control Systems based in San Vendemiano near Conegliano, Italy. This well-established company specialises in the design and manufacture of AC/DC and DC/DC power supplies from three watts up to 10kW for Railway, Medical, Military and Industrial applications. 

The R2SX series of compact two watt DC/DC converters are suited for bus isolation and a wide range of industrial automation control equipment. Their low profile and compact footprint saves space in your PCB design. The R2SX is an open-frame two watt SMD isolated DC/DC converter with either 3kVDC/ one minute isolation (/H version) or 1kVDC/ one minute isolation options. 

Adding to its medical portfolio, RECOM has introduced the REM2 series which offers versatile features and complete medical certifications. These modular DC/DC converters provide engineers with more freedom to develop their PCB layout, knowing that they will comply with the stringent regulations for medical certifications.

The new DC/DC converter series REC15E-Z from RECOM comprises fully specified 15W devices with wide input voltage ranges. They increase flexibility by accepting several standard bus voltages. Due to their compact footprint of one inch by one inch, the converters are suitable for cost sensitive applications where board space is at a premium.
