The new range of Vigortronix AC/DC converters, available from Rapid, will transform your board space. Packaged in a distinctive orange housing, they are lighter, smaller, offer longer lifetimes and provide greater reliability than traditional transformers.
Linear PCB transformers have their merits, but when DC voltage is required, we recommend that you consider using this new encapsulated switched mode power supply module. Featuring a built-in transformer, it effectively replaces not only a linear transformer but the circuit components required to convert AC to DC – diodes, bridge rectifiers, capacitors, resistors and heatsinks. Yet it occupies a considerably smaller footprint, weighs just 20g at its lightest and is particularly useful where board space is limited.
The wide input range means that the 4-pin modules are compatible with all international voltage ratings. If you are still unsure, why not order a single module from Rapid, or contact us for more information. See below for a summary of the technical specifications of these modules:
