Put electrical safety first with this DC-DC converter from Traco Power. Its high 3,000V AC I/O isolation separates incoming feeds from outgoing supplies to prevent damage and contact injuries. Plus, the reinforced DIP-16 format effectively insulates all live components to curb electric shocks. The unit changes inputs between 4.5 and 5.5V DC into a balanced 5V DC output for the glitch-free performance of your low-voltage applications. Measuring only 23.8 (L) x 13.4 (W) x 8.6mm (D), this small device is a sure fit for crowded PCBs.

• Tips the scales at just 5.1g, adding minimal weight to your board
• Hassle-free performance in temperatures as high as +80°C
• Design offers electronic EN 60950-1 safety to minimise potential hazards such as fires and electric shocks

• Medical devices
• Industrial control panels
• Testing instruments
• Telecommunications networks
• Computer assemblies

It has a 2W power rating, so it's an energy-efficient solution.

Installation is a walk in the park. Just punch the pins through the corresponding holes on your PCB, grab your soldering iron and fix the unit in place.
