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.

Need stable DC voltages to power your PCB-mounted components? Choose this SMD-type DC-DC converter from RECOM. It's a type of switching regulator that takes an unregulated input voltage between 15 and 42V DC and outputs a regulated 12V DC, with an accuracy of ±2%, that's safe for sensitive connected devices. The unit's low ripple and noise values of typically 50mVp-p mean you can trust you'll get stable output voltages. This minimises the risk of damage to your equipment caused by voltage spikes. An efficiency rating between 92 and 95% means the convertor doesn't generate much waste energy as heat and you won't need a heatsink to keep it cool.

• Compact dimensions of 23 (H) x 29.4 (W) x 8mm (D), so it's easy to fit onto your PCB
• Short-circuit protection up to 3.5A helps prevent damage caused by harmful overcurrent
• Mean time between failures of 367,000hrs means you get a long-lasting product
• Industry-standard SIP3 package is simple to connect to your PCB

• Consumer electronics
• Domestic appliances

This converter can tolerate operating temperatures between -40°C and +85°C, so it's suitable for use in harsh environments.
