The Recom R-78Cxx series are highly efficient, non-isolated switching regulators are ideally suited to replace the 1 Amp 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 short circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

• Low profile
• Pin compatible with LM78xx linear regulators
• High efficiency, non-isolated, no need for heatsinks
• Fully protected for short circuit
• Positive to negative convertor
• Low ripple and noise

Looking for a power solution that won't be phased by a wide range of voltages? Look no further than this switching regulator from RECOM. It has an input voltage range between 8V and 42V DC and produces an output voltage of 5V DC, so it's an ideal option if you need to significantly step down a supply to suit your application. With a power rating of 5W, it's suitable for relatively low-power applications such as handheld devices. As it weighs only 2g, it won't put unnecessary pressure on your circuit board.

• Short-circuit protection guards against damage caused by overcurrent
• Thermal shutdown feature ensures that device is protected when heat rises
• High efficiency of 85% helps conserve power and keep waste heat low
• Low ripple and noise of 100mV Pk-Pk helps to ensure accurate functioning
• Compact dimensions of 8.5 (W) x 11.6 (L) x 10.4mm (D), so it fits easily onto busy PCBs

• Automotive manufacturing
• Measuring equipment
• Industrial automation

Yes, it has a wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C, so it's suitable for use in extreme environments.
