Recom RS3 DC-DC Converter, ±12V dc/ ±125mA Output, 4.5 → 9 V dc Input, 3W, Through Hole, +71°C Max Temp -40°C

Switch yourself on to safe voltage conversion with this DC-DC converter from RECOM. It gives you a regulated supply of ±12V DC from an unregulated source ranging between 4.5 and 9V DC. This makes it helpful for charging battery-powered gadgets, from mobile devices to electric vehicles. As a dual-output model, you can pair it with up to two components of connected equipment. It's also a piece of cake to fit on your PCB using secure through-hole mounting thanks to its industry-standard SIP8 package and pinout configuration.

• Low ripple and noise of max. 50mVp-p for stable output voltages and reduced chance of damaging electrical spikes
• Continuous short-circuit protection keeps current faults at bay
• Remote on-off function allows control from a distance
• Tight line and load regulation of ±0.5% lets you keep a close eye on input and output values

• Industrial control and automation
• Renewable energy systems
• Telecommunications networks

This converter's efficiency of between 78 and 83% means it wastes little energy as heat. Plus, it can keep its temperature under control with no need for a heat sink.
