RS Components (RS) has added a range of enclosed switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) from Recom that feature an integrated mains filter ideal for powering single-board computers such as the Arduino, BBC Micro:bit or Raspberry Pi, including its touchscreen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offering a wide selection of DC\/DC converters and AC\/DC power supplies compliant with international safety standards, Recom is a leading European power supply maker that has many decades of expertise in developing leading-edge converter technologies covering the 0.25W to 960W power range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aimed squarely at electronics designers, the new RAC05-K\/C14 series<\/a> <\/strong>of isolated AC\/DC converters offers a selection of five devices with 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V and 24V DC output voltages, respectively, enabling use in an extensive selection of industrial applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Providing an 85 to 264V AC universal input voltage and energy efficiencies up to 86%, the DC output terminals offer safe extra-low voltage (SELV) capability meaning they can be touched in safety. The units also deliver protection against short circuits and overload and overvoltage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series\u2019 patented design means a complete 5W supply can fit into the standard C14 mains filter housing and at lower cost than many power supplies or mains filters alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the supply comes with the standard IEC \u2018kettle connector\u2019 input mounting hole, which means that installation time is only a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metal case also provides secure fixing and delivers high thermal dissipation capability, which allows a wide operating temperature range, from \u201340 to +60\u00b0C, without derating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series is CE marked and EN\/IEC\/UL certified and is shipping now from RS in the EMEA and Asia Pacific regions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
