Want to stop irregular power supplies from getting the better of your PCB-linked components? Opt for this DC-DC converter from Traco Power. It stabilises varying input voltages ranging from 9 to 36V to deliver a balanced 5V output that's safe for low-voltage setups. Through-hole mounting gives the unit a permanent connection to your circuit board and makes sure it stays put in vibrating systems. With an efficiency of 89%, it makes the most of the energy supply and loses little to heat. As it delivers up to 20W of output power, this is the right choice for high-load applications.

• Compact dimensions of 25.4 (L) x 25.4 (W) x 9.9mm (D) for space-efficient installation in busy setups
• Broad operating temperature range between -40°C to +75°C, so safe to use in demanding settings
• Mean time between failures of 1.4 million hours for long-term performance

• Telecommunications industry
• Machine building
• Medical equipment

Yes, it creates an isolation barrier of up to 1.6kV between the input and the output, preventing damage from sudden inrushes.
