The new RECOM standard is 25.4 x 25.4mm with a height of 10mm.
PIV Technology's Managing Director Marc Hogg, said 'Recom have once again showed that they are at the forefront of DC/DC convertor technology'.
'By using the latest, state of the art materials and manufacturing methods they have not only produced an industry leading product in respect to size but have also significantly reduced the cost per Watt'.
The series provides 2:1 input ranges of 9-18, 18-36 and 36-75V in the SA variants and 4:1 input ranges of 9-36 and 18-75V in the SAW variants.
These convertors provide single outputs with standard voltages of 3.3, 5, 12 and 15V.
With efficiencies of up to 88%, this series works at the top end of the range for galvanically isolated DC/DC convertors and as a result can guarantee trouble-free operation at ambient temperatures exceeding 60C, without the need for external cooling measures.
Power density exceeds 2.3W/cm3.
Heat-sinks with corresponding mounting fixtures can be supplied to further increase the operating temperature range.
Simple external filtering and a metal case which provides six-sided shielding ensures compliance to EMC standard EN-55022 Class B.
The outputs can be trimmed over the range +/-10% of nominal output voltage and a remote on/off pin enables external on/off control or power sequencing.
The convertor is fully encapsulated using the latest vacuum epoxy potting technology, ensuring that the product is both mechanically and environmentally robust.
