RECOM has announced the launch of their RAC10E-K/277 series of board-mount AC/DC encapsulated modules, rated at 10W in a compact 1.8 x 1 inch (45.7 x 25.4mm) footprint.

Part of the RECOM ‘Economy’ series, the modules are available with single 3.3, 5, 12, 15, and 24V fully regulated outputs and with a wide input range that includes nominal 100, 115, 240, and 277VAC (120 – 430VDC). 

Applications and Compliance

The parts are particularly suitable for harsh electrical environments such as in EV chargers with their Over Voltage Category OVC III rating up to 2000m and wide operating temperature of -40 to +90°C.

The parts will also find applications in industrial, AV, and ITE environments, with their safety certifications to IEC/EN/UL/CSA 62368-1 and compliance with OVC II up to 5000m. ‘Class B’ EMC limits are also met without external components and the parts are ErP-compliant with no-load losses of less than 100mW.

Efficiency

The parts are fully protected against output short circuits, over-voltage, and over-current

The efficiency of the RAC10E-K/277 is high and up to 84%, depending on the variant, resulting in a power-dense product allowing full load operation to 65°C ambient from 115 to 277VAC. 

The parts are fully protected against output short circuits, over-voltage, and over-current and have a reinforced isolation rating of 4kVAC/1 minute. Isolation capacitance and leakage current are particularly low at 100pF and 50µA maximum respectively.

Warranty

The RAC10E-K/277 parts are highly reliable achieving over 1.7M hours MTBF at 25°C according to MIL-HDBK-217F and are supported by the standard RECOM 3-year warranty.

Michael Schrutka, AC/DC Product Manager of RECOM comments, “Our compact RAC10E-K series with further compressed footprint is a great fit for many applications and at a very competitive price point.
