Expanding the company's popular R-78 switching regulator family, RECOM has announced the R-78W which is intended for use in applications which utilise few or no PCBs. In LED lighting solutions, for example, the switching regulator can be connected in parallel with the LED driver to generate a constant voltage for a fan.

The R-78W wired switching regulator is also suitable for use in prototyping applications and for use in portable and battery-operated devices. Operating from an input voltage range of 6.5-32V, the regulator offers high efficiency of up to 96% and standard output voltages of 5, 9 or 12V with an output current of up to 500mA.

Operating over a temperature range from -40 to +85°C, the R-78W module features short-circuit-protection (shut-down with automatic restart) and an integrated protection diode to prevent damage from reverse currents when switching off. Measuring 17.5x11.5x8.5mm, the compact regulator does not require a heatsink.

RoHS6/6 and REACH compliant, the R-78W switching regulator is EN 60950-1 certified and comes supplied with a three year warranty.
