TRACOPOWER TEN 5 DC-DC Converter, 12V dc/ 500mA Output, 9 → 18 V dc Input, 6W, Through Hole, +85°C Max Temp

When you've got an input mismatch, this DC-DC converter from Traco Power is your go-to. It takes a range from 9 to 18 V DC and outputs the 12V DC your equipment needs. The surface-mounting unit has a small footprint, thanks to dimensions of 31.8 (L) x 20.3 (W) x 10.2mm (D). This makes it no trouble to squeeze into portable equipment. Functional isolation between the input and output keeps the converter working safely with a mean time between failures of at least one million hours.

• 84% efficiency means it doesn't waste power by getting all heated up while converting voltages
• ±1% load regulation keeps voltages accurate when powering sensitive circuits
• 24-pin DIP package for easy compatibility

• Industrial control systems
• Telecommunications
• Handheld electronics
• Computer equipment

The DC-DC converter is shielded by a metal case on all sides to reduce conducted and radiated noise. There's also a filter on the input. The unit meets EN 55022 class A standards for limitations on conducted EMI interference with IT equipment and components. This makes it well-suited to communications and computing applications in commercial and industrial settings.
