element14 optimises energy efficiency with RECOM’s
latest power management solutions for Asia Pacific
Comprehensive range of RECOM devices from element14 addresses design and maintenance engineers’ need to maximise electronics’ operational lifespan
Singapore, 18 November 2011 – element14 (formerly Farnell), the first electronic component distributor that fuses commerce and community, today announced the launch of a new range of power management solutions from RECOM, including AC/DC LED power supplies, micro-size DC/DC converters, switching regulators and AC/DC converters.
At the core of power management is an understanding of how to effectively optimize energy consumption of each system component. By efficiently directing power to different components of a system, power management solutions are indispensable in every electronic product, and can increase the lifetime of the battery that is used to power portable devices.
“We’ve always been very attentive to our customers’ needs and have launched a large selection of converters on the market,” said Cai Yahui, Marketing Manager of RECOM, Asia Pacific. “We are pleased to offer our products through element14 which is a user friendly and integrated resource hub that offers a wide variety of products along with comprehensive information in the form of expert and community discussions, and design resources which help engineers optimise the functionality of our solutions and reduce time-to-market.”
“Engineers are constantly seeking innovative solutions for power management and as their partner in innovation, we are delivering the solutions they need with a new range of products from RECOM,” said Marc Grange, Head of Product Management, element14, Asia Pacific. “element14 offers a world of solutions in one single interface and consolidates all design resources including experts, design tools, services, hardware, software and up-to-date technical information, into a single dynamic reference point, which helps to generate new design ideas and drive productivity for design processes.”
Managing power conversions
As electronic engineers manage power conversions over a wide power range for applications in the field industrial of controls, lighting, medical, military and telecommunications, the wide selection of power management devices and components offered on element14 are best positioned to address their needs.
RECOM’s new power conversion product, the RACD30, is a reliable and compact AC/DC LED driver module with a design lifetime of 70,000 hours. This makes it ideal for use in many commercial indoor applications.
The cost efficient and micro-size DC/DC converter R0.25 series, is designed with improved efficiency of up to 70% and guarantees an extended ambient temperature range of -40°C to +100°C without derating. It can be used in many industrial low power applications and is also approved for medical applications.
As the inventor of the R-78 switching regulator, a replacement for linear regulators, RECOM has just released the next generation, the R-78C series on element14, which delivers high efficiency over the entire input voltage range, and can be utilised in every branch of electronics including industrial controls, battery-powered devices, hand-held equipment, avionics, fan controllers and embedded designs.
RECOM has also released a new range of isolated 1Watt to 6Watt AC/DC converter with low standby input currents. The cost effective and fully regulated RAC series is ideal for standby power supplies or low power applications such as instrument amplifiers, test and measure instruments and micro controller.
