RECOM Power Launches New 15W AC-DC Converters for Industrial Automation
RECOM Power Unveils Flexible 15W AC-DC Converters: Ideal for Space-Constrained Industrial and Medical Applications
BonChip Electronics, a leading distributor of RECOM Power's innovative power conversion solutions, is excited to announce the release of the RACM15E-K series of 15W AC-DC converters. This versatile series caters to diverse mounting needs, offering both open frame and enclosed options for seamless integration into various industrial and medical applications.
Flexible Mounting Options for Simplified Design Integration
The RACM15E-K series provides designers with the freedom to choose the ideal mounting solution for their specific requirements:
- Open Frame Models (RACM15E-K/OF): These compact converters, measuring 3.1 x 0.9 x 0.8 inches (80 x 23.8 x 22 mm), are well-suited for space-constrained applications. They feature Molex connectors for convenient connection.
- Enclosed Models (RACM15E-K/PMAD): Enclosed within an IP20-rated housing, these variants offer enhanced protection against dust and dirt. Push-in terminals facilitate easy wire connections. The enclosed models measure 3.2 x 1.1 x 1.1 inches (83 x 26.4 x 29.5 mm).
Optimized for DIN Rail Mounting
The enclosed RACM15E-K/PMAD models are specifically designed for DIN rail applications:
- Standard 1.5 Module Width: These converters fit seamlessly within a standard 1.5 module width on a DIN rail, eliminating the need for spacing restrictions with adjacent modules. This optimizes space utilization within control cabinets.
Wide Range of Outputs and Comprehensive Protections
The RACM15E-K series caters to diverse applications by offering a variety of output voltages:
- 3.3 V (rated 12 W)
- 5 V
- 12 V
- 15 V
- 24 V
- 30 VDC
For robust operation, these converters incorporate essential protection features:
- Over-voltage protection (OVP)
- Overload protection (OLP)
- Short circuit protection
In overload situations, the series features a constant current limit characteristic, making it well-suited for non-linear loads. Additionally, a self-resetting hiccup mode effectively handles short circuit events.
Wide Operating Temperature Range and Stringent Safety Certifications
The RACM15E-K series is built to withstand demanding environments:
- Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to +85°C, with derating from 50°C ambient in still air.
The series adheres to stringent safety certifications, ensuring reliable operation in various applications:
- IEC/EN62368-1
- IEC/EN60335-1
- IEC 61558
- IEC 60601-1/ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1
For medical applications, the RACM15E-K series offers the following certifications:
- 2MOPP rating in over-voltage category II (OVCII) environments to 5000 m altitude
- Maximum 100 µA ‘BF’ touch current specifications for applied parts
The series can also be used in OVCIII environments up to 3000 m according to IEC61558-2-16 and IEC60335-1.
Energy-Efficient and Reliable Operation
The RACM15E-K series prioritizes both efficiency and reliability:
- Low No Load Current: Typically less than 100 mW, contributing to reduced energy consumption and compliance with eco-design requirements.
- Conducted EMI Standard Compliance: Meets the EN55032 Class B standard for conducted emissions, minimizing electromagnetic interference with a floating load.
- High Efficiency: Up to 86% efficiency translates to lower operating temperatures, longer operating life, and high reliability.
- Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF): Over 1 million hours according to MIL-HDBK-217, ground benign environment.
Applications for Diverse Industrial and Medical Needs
The RACM15E-K series versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Industrial automation
- Industrial measurement equipment
- Medical homecare devices
- Building automation
- Monitoring systems
- Household equipment
