Recom International Power has been in the DC/DC converter business for over thirty years, but only recently has expanded into the AC/DC market.
In the beginning, Recom International Power’s primary motivation was to be able to provide a complete product portfolio for all of its customer’s power conversion needs.
The Recom RAC05-05SB is a 2”x1” converter with only 15 mm height but packs a fully regulated 5 W converter with universal input voltage (90~265VAC) into this space and yet weighs only 30 grams.
The Recom RAC05-05SB is completely potted and sealed, so no dangerous internal voltages are present to shock. The 3 kVAC isolation and built-in filters mean that the Recom RAC05-05SB will meet CE, TÜV, EN60950 safety and EN55022 EMC standards with no external components and the short circuit protection feature means that it is safe to allow the 5 VDC supply to be led out as an auxiliary supply to the connectors at the back.
The auxiliary power supply connection has a double function. With the AC/DC converter powered down, an external 5 V supply can be connected to these terminals without damaging the converter. This means that all of the function tests and adjustments can be made to the temperature controller on the production line using a safe low voltage DC power supply. In fact, there is no need to test the controller with live mains at all as every Recom AC/DC module is 100% tested.
The Recom RAC05-05SB is available from Cutter Electronics.
