Compact, powerful, and versatile: RECOM’s new REC6K-AW and REC6K-RW DC/DC converters offer regulated and galvanically isolated 6W power for demanding industrial applications.
With the REC6K-AW and REC6K-RW series, RECOM is expanding its portfolio of regulated DC/DC converters with two compact and cost-effective product families. Both series offer a wide 4:1 input voltage range, high power density, and versatile application options.
The REC6K-AW series is available in the space-saving, industry-standard 1”x1” format, while the REC6K-RW series is housed in the proven DIP24 package. This provides developers with two package options to meet different space and isolation requirements.
Flexible output options and a wide input voltage range
The new converters cover input voltage ranges of 9–36 VDC and 18–75 VDC. Single- and dual-output versions are available with output voltages ranging from 3.3 VDC to 24 VDC and ±5 V, ±12 V, and ±15 V, respectively. The regulated output power is up to 6 W, and the output currents reach a maximum of 1.5 A.
Another advantage: Neither series requires a minimum load, which provides additional flexibility when designing power supply solutions.
Comprehensive protective features and high insulation
To ensure reliable operation, both product families feature built-in protection functions. These include short-circuit protection with automatic restart, overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, and undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
The two series differ in terms of galvanic isolation:
- REC6K-AW: 1500 VDC/1 min
- REC6K-RW: 4000 VDC/1 min
As a result, the REC6K-RW series, in particular, offers high dielectric strength for applications with increased requirements.
Designed for demanding operating conditions
The new DC/DC converters also impress with their thermal performance. Depending on the model, operating temperatures ranging from -40°C to +100°C or +105°C (with derating) are possible. The maximum case temperature is +125°C.
The REC6K-AW series also offers a ±10% trim function and an ON/OFF control pin for single-output variants. In the REC6K-RW series, a control function is available as an option for variants with the /P suffix.
Typical areas of application
These compact and rugged DC/DC converters are particularly well-suited for the following applications:
- Industrial & Automation
- Railway
- Energy
- Test & Measurement
Two designs, one common strength: With the REC6K-AW and REC6K-RW, RECOM offers flexible 6W DC/DC converter solutions that combine high power density, regulated outputs, and reliable protection features in compact packages.
The new series are now available from Simpex Electronic AG.
