Take a voltage between 18 and 36V DC and step it down to a clean 5V DC / 3A output with this DC-DC convertor from Traco Power. Thanks to its state-of-the-art circuit design, it wastes minimal energy, delivering an impressive 88% efficiency. That circuitry is packed into a compact unit measuring just 25.4 (L) x 25.4 (W) x 9.9mm (D), saving valuable space on your PCB. The package is encapsulated to protect the circuit from environmental stresses and shielded to prevent interference with the precisely regulated output voltage.

• Operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C makes it suitable for harsh industrial environments
• Through-hole mounting forms a robust connection with your PCB
• Isolation voltage of 1.6kV DC protects your equipment from power surges

• Instrumentation
• Communications technology
• Mobile equipment

With through-hole mounting, leads are inserted into holes drilled into a PCB. This technology predates surface-mounting but remains popular in applications where the product is subjected to high levels of environmental stress, as it forms a more reliable connection with the board.
