High-isolation DC/DC converters for IGBT systems

Just in time for the PCIM exhibition in Nuremberg, RECOM Electronic introduces its new DC/DC converters RH, RV, RP, RGZ, RKZ, RxxPxx, and RxxP2xx, which are especially designed for IGBT driver circuits. Their asymmetric outputs of +15V and -9V makes them ideal to power IGBT drivers, so now just one converter is needed where previously two were required. [more]

RECOM’s Cost Efficient New SMD Factory

Shortly before the end of 2012, RECOM officially opened its new SMT factory in Kaohsiung/Taiwan. The factory has been designed to mass-produce selected converter types with very high cost efficiency. This will make it even more economic in future for our customers to use our readily available and fully certified modules rather than to develop their own converters in-house. For this new facility, RECOM has invested 3 million US Dollars so far, and still has space for further expansion. On a floor space of 1500m², RECOM plans to manufacture 15 million converters this year, increasing by 40% to 50% in the following year.[more]
