Dengrove Electronic Components now offer RECOM REM2 isolated DC-DC converters that save space in medical applications by providing up to 2W and 2MOPP/250VAC working voltage in a narrow SIP8 package.

Providing IEC/EN 62368-1 and 60601-1 certifications, and with reinforced 5.2kVDC/1-minute isolation, the series assists in simplifying approval of medical and scientific applications. The series is covered by a CB report that helps certification of end products in CB Scheme member countries globally. The converters are EN 60601-1-2 and EN 55011 compliant with the addition of a simple external LC filter.

As well as streamlining conformity assessment, the converters are strong performers, obtaining up to 85% efficiency and operating over an extensive temperature range from -40C to 80C without derating and 95C at 50% load.

The series comprises 32 variants including 3.3V, 5V, 9V, and 12V single-output and ±3.3V, ±9V, and ±12V dual-output models. Nominal input voltages are 3.3V, 5V, 12V, 15V, or 24V.

The compact SIP8 package offers a footprint of 8mm x 23mm and, at only 12.2mm high, is perfect for low-profile or portable equipment designs and are covered by a five-year manufacturer’s warranty.
