Recom RS3 DC-DC Converter, 12V dc/ 250mA Output, 18 → 36 V dc Input, 3W, Through Hole, +71°C Max Temp -40°C Min

Take a voltage between 12 and 36V DC and step it down to a clean 12V DC supply with this handy DC-DC converter from RECOM. The electronics are housed in a SIP package, keeping the dimensions down to a compact 21.8 (L) x 9.2 (W) x 11.1mm (D) to save space in your installation. It's protected against power surges thanks to 1kV input/output isolation. Through-hole mounting forms a robust connection with the board, assuring you it will stand up to vibration and movement.

• 83% efficiency means it wastes very little energy as heat
• Remote on/off control allows for handy operation
• Low ripple and noise help you provide a consistent supply
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to +71°C makes it suitable for harsh environments

• Hospitals
• Lighting systems
• Renewable energy installations

A SIP bundles together two or more integrated circuits in a single package. This makes it possible to fit the circuitry into a much smaller area.

Through-hole mounting attaches components to a PCB by passing the leads through pre-drilled holes. It creates a stronger connection with the board than surface mounting, making it suitable for equipment likely to be put under environmental stress.
