Recom Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 15V dc Output Voltage, 18 → 42V dc Input Voltage, 1A Output Current, 1

The Recom R-78Cxx series are highly efficient, non-isolated switching regulators are ideally suited to replace the 1 Amp 78xx linear regulators, as well as being pin compatible.

The convertor has a high-voltage input range and there is no need for heat sinks, due to little energy being wasted. It has a wide input range with short circuit protection and thermal shutdown.

• Low profile
• Pin compatible with LM78xx linear regulators
• High efficiency, non-isolated, no need for heatsinks
• Fully protected for short circuit
• Positive to negative convertor
• Low ripple and noise

Need to keep your electrical system in check? Turn to this switching regulator from RECOM. You can use it to convert a broad input voltage range between 18 and 42V DC to a steady output voltage of 15V DC. The unit boasts an efficiency of 94 to 96%, so you can rest assured it keeps its cool and wastes minimal energy as heat. Thanks to its compact dimensions of 11.6 (L) x 8.5 (W) x 10.4mm (H), it's a sure fit for setups with limited space.

• Wide operating temperature range between -40°C and +85°C for use in demanding environments
• Low typical ripple and noise of 75mVp-p for smooth operation
• Short-circuit protection to minimise the risk of electrical damage
• Light weight of just 2g, so puts minimal strain on your equipment

• Consumer electronics
• Industrial automation
• Renewable energy systems
• Medical equipment

It has a mean time between failures of 8.6 million hours at +25°C and 3.88 million hours at +68°C, so it's a long-lasting choice.
