RECOM Switching Regulator, ±0.5 % Line Regulation, 10.44mm Depth - R-78E-0.5 Series - R-78E15-0.5


Get your hands on a reliable power solution with this switching regulator from RECOM. You can use it to step down an input voltage between 18 and 28V DC to a reliably stable output of 15V DC. This component has a high start-up current capability, so it's useful for motors and devices that initially draw a lot of power. Its efficiency rating between 93 and 95% means you can count on it to conserve energy and run cool.

Features & Benefits


• Through-hole mounting for a reliable connection, even with vibration
• Operates without a hitch in a temperature range between -40°C and +85°C
• Line regulation of ±0.5% for consistent power output
• High mean time between failures of 2,182,000, so it's dependable over long periods

Applications


• Engineering workshops
• Production lines
• Robotics systems
