The Recom R-78T series of DC-DC converters are compact, low profile SMD switching regulators. They have 3 standard pinning options: AC, AL and FC.
The R-78T series has a high efficiency of up to 95%, which means that these DC-DC converters do not require heatsinks or fans. The switching regulator can operate reliably between -40°C and 85°C without derating. These DC-DC converters are the ideal space-saving solution for portable battery-operated applications.

To convert with confidence, get a helping hand from this DC-DC converter from RECOM. It steps voltages across a broad 8 to 42V DC range down to a stable output of 5V DC that's handy for powering your PCB-mounted battery-powered devices. You can trust you're getting accurate values thanks to the unit's tight line (±0.2%) and load (±0.4%) regulation. As short-circuit protection comes as part of the package, this is also a safe choice to keep you shielded against common current faults that can harm you or your equipment.

• 85 and 92% efficiency, so it produces little heat and there's no need for a heatsink
• 1.5A start-up overload capability gives it the versatility to work with 1A or 1.5A circuits
• Standard AC tray pinout configuration makes it a breeze to connect to your PCB
• Typically low ripple and noise (50mVp-p) helps minimise the risk of voltage spikes

• Automotive manufacture
• Aerospace engineering
• Consumer goods production

This unit has an operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C, so it's a safe bet in harsh environments.
