REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD

DC/DC converters are some of the most common types of electronic power supplies. They are used to convert a DC current from one voltage level to another. The REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD is such a unit, known as a buck converter, which uses electronic switches and capacitors to reduce an input voltage to a desired output voltage.

The main application field of the REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD is with LED lighting systems. LEDs require a certain amount of power, however, this must be converted from the incoming mains power of 110 or 230V. The REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD is designed specifically for this purpose, as it takes the input voltage and reduces it to a stable 12V, which is then sent to the LED drivers.

The working principle of the REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD is that of a buck converter. The input voltage is applied to two MOSFET transistors, which act as electronic switches. The capacitors offer an inductive impedance, which causes the transistors to toggle back and forth, thus reducing the input voltage to the desired output voltage.

In addition, the unit has a number of other features that enhance its performance. These include over-voltage protection, inrush current limiting, thermal protection, and soft start. These features all help protect the unit against overloads, surges, and spikes in the input voltage, ensuring that the device continues to operate reliably over a long period of time.

The REC3-0512DRW/H4/C/SMD is an excellent example of a buck converter, designed to operate in the most demanding LED lighting applications. Its features make it well suited for supplying a stable and reliable 12V output.
