RECOM Switching Regulator, 92 to 94% Efficiency, 30mV Maximum Ripple Voltage - R-78B-1.5 Series - R-78B5.0-1.5


Need to adapt your power supply to suit your PCB-mounted components? Choose this switching regulator from RECOM. It converts supply voltages between 6.5 and 18V DC to a steady 5V DC output, letting you use your low-voltage equipment with a wide variety of common power sources. Thanks to the device's high 92% conversion efficiency, you can trust it minimises power losses to give you energy-efficient voltage switching. Integrated short-circuit protection automatically restarts the unit after electrical faults to minimise system downtime.

Features & Benefits


• Load regulation of ±0.8% to withstand small changes in supply voltage and boost reliability
• Maximum ripple voltage of 30mV for minimal disruption from electrical noise
• Compact dimensions of 11.5 (L) x 8.5 (W) x 17.5mm (D) for easy mounting on crowded circuit boards
• Broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +71°C for use in harsh conditions

Applications


• Domestic appliances
• Automotive industry
• Telecommunications systems
