New “Low Cost”- Switching Regulator for less than U$1.98*

2012/02/27Recom Power Supply

The price for our new modular R-78E switching regulator is so attractive that it no longer cost effective to manufacture them in house – not even for larger quantities! Buying these modules saves time, development costs and avoids problems such as undesired EMC radiation.

Low energy consumption has become mandatory.High energy consuming linear regulators are no longer a viable alternative. Their energy losses are usually 5 to 10 times higher than the R-78E. It is therefore not surprising that they require additional cooling, whilst the R-78E does not need heat sinking. The slightly higher material cost of a switching regulator is usually amortized within a few months.

The new R-78E is pin-compatible with other Recom 78 series switching regulators and standard TO-220 linear regulators. This module is a cost effective, energy saving and foot print compatible replacement. Its input range of 4:1 extends up to 28VDC and enables the operation from 24V industry standard bus systems, as well as 9V and 12V battery systems. The 5V/500mA output is regulated to <+/- 0.5%, with ripple specified at <50mVpp.

The R-78E does not require external components, is protected against short circuits, overload and over-temperature. Due to its high efficiency, operation in the industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C is possible, without using heat sinks. Its miniature SIP3 case measures only 11.6 x 8.5 x 10.4mm.

This new lower cost module is ideal for a huge range of applications and makes no compromises with respect to quality and reliability. The warranty is the full 3 years RECOM standard. The R-78E is currently the lowest cost switching regulator on the market and with its exceptional specifications is a viable economic alternative to a discrete solution.
