Worried about reliable power control for your PCB-linked components? Let this DC-DC converter from RECOM take the weight off your shoulders. It steps down input voltage signals between 4.5 and 18V to an output range of 1.6 to 5.5V that devices such as sensors can use. Thanks to its auto-sense feature, this smart piece of kit can make up for energy losses in long circuit loops, ensuring your parts get exactly what they need to work. As it's up to 96% efficient, it produces next to no waste energy as heat, meaning there's no call for a heatsink.

• Vertical through-hole mounting offers a permanent link to the PCB that's useful in vibrating settings
• Non-conductive plastic housing can withstand impact, making it a practical choice in harsh environments
• Broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C for use in extreme conditions
• Continuous short-circuit protection for enhanced safety

• Medical equipment
• Gaming consoles
• Robotics and automation systems

At an operating temperature above +25°C, this unit has an MTBF of 749,000 hours, so you can rely on it for long-term service.
