Recom R12P DC-DC Converter, 15V dc/ -185mA Output, 10.8 → 13.2 V dc Input, 2W, PCB Mount, +90°C Max Temp -40°C

Want PCB-linked components that work at their best? Team them up with this DC-DC converter from RECOM. It creates a safety wall between the input and the output to ensure supply voltage surges as high as 6.4kV DC don't pass through and damage your devices. To prove big things do come in small packages, this powerhouse packs an internal transformer with a pot core into a compact industry-standard SIP7 housing. It's 84% efficient, so produces minimal waste energy, meaning there's no need for a heatsink to help the unit keep its cool.

• Dual output technology with automatic power sharing for multi-component control
• Low output ripple and noise value of 200mVp-p for steady signal transmission
• Start-up time of 5ms for quick response to actuation
• Plastic housing serves as an insulator to prevent electric shocks during operation

• Radio and TV broadcast studios
• Server banks

Even though it's possible to desolder this unit and use it on another circuit board, this option isn't advisable as it would take a lot of time and care to uninstall it without damaging its pins.
