Frequently Asked Questions
How do I select the right Recom DC-DC converter for my application?
Selecting the right Recom DC-DC converter involves: 1) Input voltage range - determine your system voltage and choose 2:1 or 4:1 input range options; 2) Output requirements - calculate voltage and current needs with 20-30% margin; 3) Isolation needs - select isolated or non-isolated based on safety requirements; 4) Package type - SIP for through-hole, DIP for dual in-line, SMD for surface mount; 5) Temperature range - ensure rating matches your environment (-40°C to +85°C standard); 6) Certifications - verify medical, automotive, or industrial certifications needed. Recom provides online selection tools and our FAE team can assist with specific applications.
Use our product selector or contact FAE for application-specific recommendations.
What is the difference between isolated and non-isolated DC-DC converters?
Key differences between isolated and non-isolated converters: Isolated converters provide galvanic isolation between input and output using transformers, typically 1000VDC to 6000VDC isolation voltage. They are required for: Safety-critical applications, Breaking ground loops, Level shifting between different voltage domains, Medical equipment requiring patient isolation. Non-isolated converters (like buck, boost, buck-boost) have direct DC connection between input and output. Advantages include: Higher efficiency (no transformer losses), Lower cost, Smaller size, Simpler design. Recom offers both types - isolated converters for safety-critical applications and non-isolated switching regulators for cost-sensitive designs.
Contact our FAE team for guidance on isolated vs non-isolated selection for your application.
What packages are available for Recom DC-DC converters?
Recom DC-DC converters are available in multiple package types: SIP (Single In-line Package) - 7-pin or 8-pin through-hole mounting, compact vertical design; DIP (Dual In-line Package) - 14-pin or 16-pin through-hole, wider footprint for higher power; SMD (Surface Mount Device) - Compact surface mount packages for automated assembly; DIL (Dual In-line) - Similar to DIP with specific pin configurations. Package selection depends on: Board space constraints - SIP for vertical space, SMD for compact designs; Assembly process - through-hole for prototyping, SMD for production; Power dissipation - larger packages for better thermal performance; Application requirements - industrial vs commercial grade. Recom provides detailed mechanical drawings for all packages.

What is the difference between 2:1 and 4:1 input voltage ranges?
Input voltage range options for Recom DC-DC converters: 2:1 input range - covers a 2:1 ratio of input voltage, e.g., 9-18VDC for 12V nominal, 18-36VDC for 24V nominal. Advantages: Slightly higher efficiency, Lower cost, Good for stable input sources. 4:1 input range - covers a 4:1 ratio, e.g., 9-36VDC, 18-75VDC. Advantages: Handles wide input variations, Suitable for battery applications (12V/24V), Accommodates voltage sags and transients, One part number covers multiple input scenarios. Selection depends on your input source stability. For battery-powered or automotive applications, 4:1 is recommended. For stable DC bus applications, 2:1 offers optimal efficiency.
Contact our FAE team to determine the optimal input range for your power source.
