Need a power and conversion solution but only have limited room on your board? Tick all the boxes with this DC-DC converter from Traco Power. It transforms voltages down from a wide 2:1 input range (18 to 36V DC) to deliver a tightly regulated output of 5V DC. This makes it handy for charging your DC-supplied devices. As its compact SIP-8 package occupies just 2cm² on your PCB but boasts a 3W rating, this high-power-density component is ideal for space-critical industrial applications. You can count on it to handle the heat in harsh settings thanks to an operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C.

• 1.5kV isolation voltage prevents electrical surges from harming people or equipment
• Continuous short-circuit protection keeps you safe in case of excess current faults
• Output voltage can be set with ±1% accuracy, so you can rest assured you're getting closely controlled values

• Communications equipment
• Instrumentation
• Industrial electronics

It has an efficiency of 82%, which means it wastes little energy in the form of heat and won't need a heat sink to stay cool.
