TRACOPOWER Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 15V dc Output Voltage, 18 → 36V dc Input Voltage, 2A Output

Get your power source into shape with this switching regulator from Traco Power. By stepping inputs down to a fixed 15V DC load, the converter ensures your power supply meets your system's demands without needing to replace components. A start-up time of 5ms means the device gets straight to switching loads for snappy conversion. You'll have no trouble securely installing it, thanks to its through-hole mounting method. The regulator's overload, overcurrent and short-circuit protections ward off faults to keep its working parts guarded.

• Load regulation rating of 1% for a stable power output through supply changes
• Compact SIP-3 format slots easily onto busy boards
• Plastic and silicone insulation keeps fingers clear of dangerous loads
• Input range between 18 and 36V DC for wide compatibility

• Electrical engineering
• Industrial robotics systems
• Processing plants

No, as this device runs at 96% efficiency it loses minimal energy as waste heat. This means it runs cool, so you don't need to fit a heatsink.
