Memory Protection Devices (MPD) is pleased to introduce the BK-18650-PC4-E, the latest addition to the BK-18650 battery holder family. Designed to accommodate two 18650 lithium-ion cells, this battery holder supports extended protected batteries up to 70 mm in length, making it an ideal solution for applications that require larger protected cells. For added security, batteries can be retained using the BK-18650-PC4-COVER (sold separately), providing a secure and reliable battery installation.

Following the November launch of RECOM’s 90W step-shape module in 36mm the REFIN2U-S90/24/CL RECOM is now extending its REFIN family with the new REFIN2U-S30. The latest addition brings the same 2U-width, step-shape DIN rail concept at reduced cost to lower power applications and addresses space-constrained flat-panel distribution boards, particularly in home and building automation systems. The REFIN2U-S30 is available with nominal 12VDC and 24VDC outputs and delivers 30W continuous power. The units operate from a wide 85-305VAC input range and offer output adjustment ranges of 10.8 to 13.2VDC and 21.6 to 26.4VDC respectively. Typical efficiency reaches up to 90%, while no-load power consumption is below 100mW.

RECOM has introduced two new 6W isolated DC/DC converter series—the REC6K-AW and REC6K-RW—designed for cost-sensitive, space-constrained industrial applications. Both feature a wide 4:1 input voltage range (9–36VDC or 18–75VDC), regulated single and dual outputs from 3.3VDC to 24VDC (including ±5V, ±12V, and ±15V options), and deliver up to 6W of power with output currents up to 1.5A. They require no minimum load, increasing their versatility. The converters include comprehensive protection features such as short-circuit, overcurrent, overvoltage, and undervoltage lockout, while operating reliably in harsh environments from -40°C up to +100°C (or +105°C with derating).

RECOM is rolling out a new range of rectifier ICs to allow customers to build their own discrete DC/DC isolated power supplies. The range includes a fully integrated full-bridge rectifier with smart output-voltage limiting that occupies less board space than 4 diodes, and a rectification controller IC for use with an external FET, suitable for either high-side or low-side rectification.

RECOM is launching the RACPRO1-S480, a new cost-effective and compact DIN-Rail PSU rated at 480W in convection cooled environments from -40°C to +60°C, in a format of just 135 x 140mm, 52mm wide. Additionally, the parts can deliver 576W up to 45°C and 720W for five seconds, avoiding the need to over-specify a converter to cope with surge loads. Maximum operating ambient temperature is +70°C. Adjustable outputs available are 24V and 48VDC with a DC-OK signal provided. A valuable feature included is an extended return voltage immunity of more than 35V at 24V and 63V at 48V for back-feeding loads such as decelerating motors. Constant current or parallel modes can be selected. Input is universal single-phase AC with active power factor correction and inrush limiting, or 88V to 370VDC. No load power consumption is 4.2W maximum.

The cost-effective and reliable RECOM RACPRO1-S240E DIN-Rail AC/DC series is only 125 x 139mm, 39mm wide, yet provides 240W output from -40°C to +60°C with just convection cooling and to +70°C with derating. Under certain conditions, even higher power is available, with up to 288W up to +45°C, and 360W for five seconds for surge loads. Adjustable outputs include 12V, 24V, and 48VDC, with return voltage immunity of better than 35V at 24V or 63V at 48V for back-feeding loads such as inductors and decelerating motors. A DC-OK signal is also provided. The AC Input has active inrush control and selectable range: 85V to 132VAC or 175V to 264VAC single phase, for world-wide operation.
