RECOM Power Launches AC-DC Converters for Electric Mobility
RECOM Introduces the RACM140E-K Series: Universal Input AC/DCs Offering Power, Reliability, and Value
BonChip Electronics, a valued distributor of RECOM's innovative power supply solutions, is excited to announce the launch of the RACM140E-K series. This new range of universal input AC/DC power supplies delivers an exceptional balance of dynamic power, dependable performance, and competitive pricing, making it ideal for space-constrained applications with demanding requirements.
Meeting the Challenge of High Surge Currents
The RACM140E-K series caters to loads requiring high surge currents during startup or operation. It offers single output models in 12, 15, 24, 36, and 48 VDC, each boasting a continuous rating of 140W (136.8W for 36V) and a peak power capability of 210W for ten seconds. Additionally, each output features a board-mounted trim potentiometer for fine-tuning voltage regulation.
Universal Input and Flexible Packaging Options
The RACM140E-K series provides exceptional versatility:
- Universal Input: The AC input range spans from 80 to 264 VAC, ensuring compatibility with global power grids.
- Open Frame or Enclosed Options: Choose between open frame variants for maximum space efficiency or enclosed versions for added protection. Both options maintain a compact size (147 x 81.5 x 38 mm for open frame; 40 mm for enclosed) with industry-standard 3" x 5" footprints for seamless integration.
- Standard and Optional Connection Methods: Standard pin headers facilitate input and output connections. Enclosed models offer the additional option of push-in connectors, simplifying integration within your end application.
Rigorous Safety Certifications and Environmental Performance
The RACM140E-K series prioritizes safety and environmental responsibility:
- Safety Certifications: Compliant with IEC/EN60335-1, IEC/EN62368-1, and IEC/EN ANSI/AAMI 60601-1 for medical applications. The 2MOPP rating with low touch and leakage currents ensures safety in Body Floating (BF) applications.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC): Exceeds "Class B" limits for conducted emissions by a wide margin.
- Environmental Considerations: Suitable for operation in Pollution Degree 2 environments and rated for Over-Voltage Category III (up to 2000m altitude) and Over-Voltage Category II (up to 5000m altitude).
- Wide Operating Temperature Range: Functions reliably from -40°C to +90°C in natural convection with variant-dependent derating.
- Low Power Consumption: Minimal no-load consumption of just 100mW and adherence to eco-design requirements for standby mode further enhance environmental efficiency.
