The RP100-FW series is a new family of high-performance 100W isolated DC/DC converters designed for demanding industrial, transportation, test & measurement, and communications applications. Featuring a 4:1 wide input range, the series simplifies system design by covering nominal 24V and 48V battery systems with only two input voltage variants while supporting seven popular output voltages from 5V to 54V. With efficiencies of up to 94%, the RP100-FW minimizes power losses and heat generation, enabling reliable operation over an extended ambient temperature range from -40°C to +110°C

The new RP50-AW series is a compact 50W isolated converter family designed for demanding industrial, transportation, automation, test & measurement, and datacom applications. Featuring a 4:1 wide input voltage range, 2.25kVDC isolation, and efficiency of up to 93%, the series offers maximum flexibility while minimizing power losses. Designed for harsh operating environments, the RP50-AW operates reliably from -40°C to +110°C and at altitudes of up to 5000m.

Memory Protection Devices (MPD) is pleased to introduce the BK-18650-PC4-E, the latest addition to the BK-18650 battery holder family. Designed to accommodate two 18650 lithium-ion cells, this battery holder supports extended protected batteries up to 70 mm in length, making it an ideal solution for applications that require larger protected cells. For added security, batteries can be retained using the BK-18650-PC4-COVER (sold separately), providing a secure and reliable battery installation.

Following the November launch of RECOM’s 90W step-shape module in 36mm the REFIN2U-S90/24/CL RECOM is now extending its REFIN family with the new REFIN2U-S30. The latest addition brings the same 2U-width, step-shape DIN rail concept at reduced cost to lower power applications and addresses space-constrained flat-panel distribution boards, particularly in home and building automation systems. The REFIN2U-S30 is available with nominal 12VDC and 24VDC outputs and delivers 30W continuous power. The units operate from a wide 85-305VAC input range and offer output adjustment ranges of 10.8 to 13.2VDC and 21.6 to 26.4VDC respectively. Typical efficiency reaches up to 90%, while no-load power consumption is below 100mW.

RECOM has introduced two new 6W isolated DC/DC converter series—the REC6K-AW and REC6K-RW—designed for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial applications. Both feature a wide 4:1 input voltage range (9–36VDC or 18–75VDC), regulated single and dual outputs from 3.3VDC to 24VDC (including ±5V, ±12V, and ±15V options), and deliver up to 6W of power with output currents up to 1.5A. They require no minimum load, increasing their versatility. The converters include comprehensive protection features such as short-circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage lockout, while operating reliably in harsh environments from -40°C up to +100°C (or +105°C with derating).

RECOM is rolling out a new range of rectifier ICs to allow customers to build their own discrete DC/DC isolated power supplies. The range includes a fully integrated full-bridge rectifier with smart output-voltage limiting that occupies less board space than 4 diodes, and a rectification controller IC for use with an external FET, suitable for either high-side or low-side rectification.

RECOM is launching the RACPRO1-S480, a new cost-effective and compact DIN-Rail PSU rated at 480W in convection cooled environments from -40°C to +60°C, in a format of just 135 x 140mm, 52mm wide. Additionally, the parts can deliver 576W up to 45°C and 720W for five seconds, avoiding the need to over-specify a converter to cope with surge loads. Maximum operating ambient temperature is +70°C. Adjustable outputs available are 24V and 48VDC with a DC-OK signal provided. A valuable feature included is an extended return voltage immunity of more than 35V at 24V and 63V at 48V for back-feeding loads such as decelerating motors. Constant current or parallel modes can be selected. Input is universal single-phase AC with active power factor correction and inrush limiting, or 88V to 370VDC. No load power consumption is 4.2W maximum.

The cost-effective and reliable RECOM RACPRO1-S240E DIN-Rail AC/DC series is only 125 x 139mm, 39mm wide, yet provides 240W output from -40°C to +60°C with just convection cooling and to +70°C with derating. Under certain conditions, even higher power is available, with up to 288W up to +45°C, and 360W for five seconds for surge loads. Adjustable outputs include 12V, 24V, and 48VDC, with return voltage immunity of better than 35V at 24V or 63V at 48V for back-feeding loads such as inductors and decelerating motors. A DC-OK signal is also provided. The AC Input has active inrush control and selectable range: 85V to 132VAC or 175V to 264VAC single phase, for world-wide operation.

The new RPMVH-0.5 series of cost-effective, non-isolated buck regulator modules from RECOM delivers 0.5A of output at fully regulated nominal voltages of 3.3, 5, 12, or 24VDC, with inputs that can vary up to 115VDC. Efficiencies of up to 90% and a thermally enhanced package enable the modules to operate at full power, reaching temperatures as high as 100°C, with derating to 120°C.

The new RECOM RMOD4000 series of compact, plug-and-play DC/DCs is a cost-effective solution to provision of isolated 14V, 28V, or 56VDC network rails from a high input voltage between 180 and 950VDC from traction batteries. Up to 4kW is available depending on variant and input voltage, and a conversion efficiency of up to 95%, along with baseplate or liquid cooling options, results in cool running and high reliability and lifetime.

When space and cost are at a premium, the RECOM RACPRO1-S120 DIN-Rail PSU is the solution. Offering 120W output power from -40°C to +60°C ambient in convection-only cooling, the part is just 100mm high, 112mm deep, and 28mm wide, achieving 500W/liter power density and an efficiency of up to 93.3%. As a bonus, up to 144W is available to 45°C, with a further power boost to 150% for five seconds for surge loads. Adjustable output voltages are available at 12V, 24V, or 48VDC, each with an extended return voltage capability of more than 35V at 24V and 63V at 48V, for immunity to back-feed from inductive and motor loads. A DC-OK signal is also provided. Input is universal single-phase AC, or 88 to 370VDC with active inrush limiting.

RECOM has extended its 300W railway DC/DC range with the cost-effective RMD300-110-110SUW model, featuring a fully regulated 110VDC output. Input range is ultra-wide 12:1 or 16.8V to 137.5V, to cover all common nominal rail voltages worldwide, with dips and surges according to standard EN 50155. Operation is allowed to 14.4V for 100ms and to 170VDC for three seconds and hold-up of 10ms minimum is also included across the whole input range, to allow for supply dropouts with no loss of function.
