2 W and 3 W SIP16 DC/DC converters have 20 kV DC isolation

16 December 2019

Recom has launched its RHV2 and RHV3 series of certified, ultra-high isolation DC/DC converters with single and dual outputs rated at 2 W or 3 W in a compact SIP16 package.

Recom has extended its range of unregulated DC/DC converters with the RHV2 and RHV3 series that feature ultra-high isolation ratings of 12.5 kV AC/1 minute or 20 kV DC/1 second in a compact SIP16 package that Source: RecomSource: Recommeasures just 45 x 15 x 17 mm. With more than 30 mm input-to-output pin separation, the converters are certified to IEC/EN 62368 and IEC/EN 61010 for 12.5 kV AC reinforced isolation up to 5000 m altitude.

The RHV2 provides 2 W up to 85° C and the RHV3 up to 3 W at 80° C without load derating. Both series have nominal 5, 12 or 24 V inputs and a choice of 5, 12, 24 single or +/-5 or +/-12 V dual outputs. Efficiency is up to 81.5%, isolation capacitance is very low at 4 pF typical and the parts comply with EN 55032 (class B) EMI limits with a simple external LC input filter. Reliability is very high with MTBF at 14.6 M hours for the RHV2 series at 25° C (13.4 M hours for RHV3).

Steve Roberts, CTO of Recom, comments “We see the RHV2 and RHV3 series as a perfect fit for very high voltage isolation applications such as high vacuum monitoring, X-ray equipment and HVAC dust extraction systems where low cost and reliable performance are key.”

Samples and OEM pricing are available from all authorized distributors or directly from Recom.
