We have continued to add to our ‘K’ series of DC/DC converters featuring advanced circuit design techniques and manufacturing technology with the REC5K-AW, a 5W, wide input DC/DC in a plastic package, just 1” x 1” footprint, 0.4“ profile (25.4 x 25.4 x 10mm).
The cost-effective part operates over a wide 4:1 (9 – 36VDC) input range and provides a regulated 5V output rated at 1A with 18-36VDC input. Operation is from -40°C to 110°C ambient with derating.
The REC5K-AW is certified to EN/UL/IEC 62368-1 ‘basic’ grade isolation, 4kV/1sec, and the DC/DC meets EMC standard EN 55032 Class B with a simple external filter.
Protection features include an input under-voltage lockout and output short circuit immunity. An On/Off control is also included with a standby current draw of typically just 3mA.
The REC5K-AW is characterized for operation to 5000m altitude and pollution degree 2 (PD2) environment and reliability is high with an MTBF of over 1.4MHrs at 25°C according to MIL-HDBK-217F (Ground Benign).
The combination of wide input and temperature operating ranges with high power density make the REC5K-AW ideal for demanding applications, for example medical and industrial, where performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness are expected.
