Tailor-made drivers for chip-on-board LEDs

The new RCOB LED driver series from Recom has specifically been developed to meet the requirements of COB (chip-on-board) LEDs. The driver series includes 11 models with output voltages between 25 and 44VDC and constant output currents of 350 to 1050mA, thus offering a suitable driver for virtually any application. The RCOB drivers are surprisingly affordable, come with active PFC (>0.95), and achieve efficiencies of up to 90%. Due to their compact and flat design (106mm x 67mm x 22 mm), the drivers can be integrated into any type of lighting system. The fact that the inputs and outputs are located on the same side of the driver makes installation even easier. The drivers of version RCOB-A come with a 1 to 10 V input and can be dimmed from 0 to 100%. As the new driver series has been designed for the European market, its input voltage is 230VAC (198 to 264VAC). The permissible operating temperature range is -20C to +50C. A number of safety features protecting the devices against short circuits, overload, overvoltage, and over-temperature ensure maximum availability and reliability, says the company.
