RECOM Switching Regulator, Non-Conductive Plastic Case, 93 to 96% Efficiency - R-78W-0.5 Series - R-78W12-0.5


Dreaming of effective power management for your electrical components? This RECOM switching regulator will make it a reality. The unit delivers a balanced 12V DC voltage supply from inputs between 15 and 32V DC, giving devices like fans and LED lights what they need to operate safely. As indicated by its 96% maximum efficiency rating, this regulator loses minimal energy to heat, so it's an energy-efficient solution that you can use without a heatsink. A built-in diode protection circuit prevents reverse feedback from the output to ensure long-term performance.

Features & Benefits


• Compact dimensions of 11.5 (L) x 8.5 (W) x 17.5mm (H) for space-efficient installation in tight setups
• Stops burning in fewer than 10 seconds in the event of a fire, making it suitable for volatile settings
• Non-conductive plastic case prevents electric shocks

Applications


• Industrial cooling systems
• Medical centres
• Electrical transmission and distribution facilities

What's the temperature tolerance of this switching regulator?


This device works at its best in temperatures between -40°C and +85°C, making it suitable for challenging settings.

How much current does this switching regulator use?


This unit draws only 500mA of current during operation, so it's an energy-efficient power distribution solution.
