The Recom R-78Bxx series are highly efficient, non-isolated switching regulators. They offer a high-quality product at a low cost in production quantity. They are ideally suited to replace 78xx linear regulators, as well as being pin compatible.

The convertor has a high-voltage input range and there is no need for heat sinks, due to little energy being wasted. It has a wide input range with continuous short circuit protection and no external components are needed to work efficiently.

• Wide operating temperature of -40 to +70 °C at full load
• Pin compatible with TO220 linear regulators
• High efficiency, non-isolated, no need for heatsinks
• Requires no external components
• Continuous short circuit protection
• Low ripple and noise
• Compact size, ensuring space saving
• Positive to negative converter

Use this switching regulator from RECOM to covert your supply voltage to the level needed by your equipment. It provides a continuous 12V DC output, giving you a reliable power supply that helps avoid unplanned appliance downtime. The product's wide input voltage range between 15 and 32V DC means you can use it with common electrical sources. As it efficiently converts up to 96% of its input energy, very little heat is produced as a by-product. This means you can be confident it works safely without the need for an external heatsink.

• Quiescent current of 2mA means minimal energy waste while not in use
• Peak ripple voltage of 75mV means low disruption from electrical noise
• Body measurements of 11.5 (W) x 17.5 (H) x 8.5mm (D) mean it fits easily onto busy circuit boards
• Short-circuit protection resets the device after faults to help minimise downtime

• Games consoles
• Radio receivers
• Security systems
• Logistics industry

This switching regulator is suitable for the through-hole mounting method, which achieves a secure and vibration-proof attachment.
