REC5-4812SRW/H/B/SMD

DC DC Converters

DC-DC converters are electronic components intended for the conversion of electric current from one form of energy to another. They are typically used to transfer energy from a direct current (DC) source, such as a battery or solar panel, into an alternating current (AC) output, such as an AC grid or a motor.

A REC5-4812SRW/H/B/SMD is a DC-DC converter from RECOM Power. It is a single output, step-down, regulated, high-efficiency, three terminal, encapsulated switch-mode power supply. It is available in four versions; Standard, HDBK, Heat Sink and SMD.

The application field of the REC5-4812SR cuts across several areas. In industrial and commercial applications, it is typically used as a prototyping device, for controlling and monitoring AC/DC circuits and loads, and to power LED lighting systems. It is also suitable for medical applications, including medical imaging and diagnostics, where it is used to regulate and monitor power levels.

The REC5-4812SRW is a highly efficient and reliable converter, with an operating efficiency of about 90%. It features a high switching frequency, with minimum electromagnetic interference and reduced acoustic noise. It is made up of a PowerON circuitry, an overload protection system and soft start circuitry.

The working principle of the REC5-4812SRW is based on the use of a pulse width modulation (PWM). The output is regulated by continuously controlling the on-time of the pulse. The converter constantly monitors the output voltage and adjusts the on-time accordingly. It also features an overload protection system, which shortens the on-time of the PWM, and a high-frequency transformer for transferring the power from one circuit to another.

The REC5-4812SRW is an ideal device for applications where there is a need for DC to DC power conversion, such as in LED lighting systems and medical imaging systems. It is a reliable and efficient device, with a high switching frequency, and with a minimum of electromagnetic interference and reduced acoustic noise.
