Efficiency up to 97%, no need for heatsinks Pin-out compatible with LM78XX linears Features Very low profile DC/DC Converter 4.75V - 32V Wide input range Short circuit protection, thermal shutdown Switching Low ripple and noise IEC/EN60950-1 certified Regulator R-78-0.5 Positive to negative converter Description 0.5 Amp The R-78xx-Series high efficiency switching regulators are ideally suited to replace 78xx linear SIP3 regultors and are pin compatible. The efficiency of up to 97% means that very little energy is wasted as heat so there is no need for any heat sinks with their additional space and mounting costs. Low ripple and noise figures and short circuit, overload and over-temperature protection round off the specifications of Single Output this versatile converter series. This R-78xx-0.5 is fully certified to EN55032 EMC Standard and for IEC/EN-60950-1 + AM2 Safety. Selection Guide Part Input Output Output Efficiency Number Voltage Range Voltage Current min Vin max.
