Recom DC/DC Converter 15W 12V/-12V Through-Hole , 9 - 36V Input, 1.6kV Isolation, 85°C Max RP15-FW

The Recom RP15-2412DFW is a high-performance DC/DC converter designed for demanding industrial, telecom, and automation applications requiring dual 12V outputs and reliable insulation. This compact module offers a regulated ±12V DC output from a broad 9V to 36V DC input, making it suitable for use with varying battery voltages or distributed DC supplies common in industrial systems. Its robust 15W output capability ensures ample power for sensors, controllers, and communication modules.

Mechanically, the converter utilizes a through-hole mounting configuration in an industry-standard 2" x 1" footprint, enabling quick integration onto printed circuit boards. A six-sided metallised shield is incorporated to optimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance, enabling low-noise operation even in environments with significant electrical disturbance. The module's construction is engineered to resist both shock and vibration, supporting installations near moving machinery or in rugged field deployments.

The RP15-2412DFW features comprehensive protection, including short-circuit, overload, and overvoltage safeguards to ensure safe operation and system resilience. Its 1.6kV DC isolation rating provides reliable safety separation between input and output circuits, helping protect both personnel and equipment from electrical faults or surges.

Efficiency is one of the standout attributes of this converter, with a typical figure of 85%. This minimizes thermal losses and eliminates the need for external heat sinks under most application conditions, supporting energy-efficient operation and a compact system footprint. The device is capable of delivering up to 625mA output current from each channel (±12V) and maintains performance across a wide temperature span from -40°C to +85°C, suitable for environments ranging from outdoor telecom cabinets to factory automation lines.

With a Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) of 2,350,000 hours, the RP15-2412DFW offers high reliability for continuous operations. The module complies with UR and RoHS standards, supporting global manufacturing and sustainability requirements. Multiple outputs, ripple and noise control, and precise output voltage adjustment make it versatile for complex systems.

Typical industrial applications include automation controllers, communication infrastructure, military systems, and battery-backed devices where stable, insulated dual voltage rails are critical. Its compact, vibration-resistant, and high-quality build lends itself well to professional PCB designs and panel assemblies. The RP15-2412DFW is also ideal for OEMs and system integrators seeking reliable DC-DC power modules for mission-critical equipment.
