RECOM introduces two cost-effective switching regulators

     RECOM has announced the launch of two highly cost-effective switching voltage regulators -- the RPMGQ-20 and the RPMGS-20. Both are open, through-hole non-isolated DC/DC step-down converters with a rated output of 20A.These products feature complete input undervoltage, output overcurrent, short circuit and overheat protection, and provide ON/OFF control and remote voltage detection feedback.

     The RPMGQ-20 comes in an industry-standard 1/4 brick package, while the RPMGS-20 comes in an emerging 36.83 x 34.04mm package with standard 1/16 brick output pins. Both products have a maximum height of 15mm from the mounting surface. The input range is 18V-75V, and the optional nominal output is 5V or 12V, which can be adjusted in a wide range of 3.3V to 8V and 8V to 24V respectively.

     The RPMGQ-20 and RPMGS-20 have very high efficiency, with peak efficiency of 98% for the 12V output version and 94% for the 5V output version, and the efficiency curve is almost flat above 10% load. Due to low losses and advanced thermal design, all models are capable of fully loaded ambient temperatures above 90°C with air flow and derated temperatures up to 120°C.
