RECOM Switching Regulator, 6.5 to 18V DC Input Voltage Range, 5V DC Output Voltage - R-78B-1.5 Series - R-78B5.0-1.5L


Efficiently control the power supply to components on your PCB with this switching regulator from RECOM. It converts input voltages ranging between 6.5 and 18V DC to a stable 5V DC output voltage, so it's a good option for use in low-power applications. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 11.5 (L) x 8.5 (W) x 17.5mm (H), the unit is easy to install in setups with limited space. A non-conductive plastic housing ensures protection against electric shocks for enhanced workplace safety. As it has a light weight of only 4g, this device puts minimal strain on your equipment.

Features & Benefits


• Through-hole mounting style ensures a secure connection to your PCB
• Mean time between failures of 3,250,000 hours at +25°C for long-term performance
• Broad operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C for use in demanding environments

Applications


• Machine tooling
• Automotive equipment
