Recom Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 12V dc Output Voltage, 15 → 32V dc Input Voltage, 500mA Output Current,

Deliver stable power to devices on your circuit board with this switching regulator from RECOM. It balances irregular inputs ranging from 15 to 32V DC and steps it down to a noiseless 12V DC output that low-voltage components like sensors can use. With compact dimensions of 11.5 (length) x 7.5 (width) x 10.2mm (height), this is a practical choice for installation in setups with limited space. Its non-conductive plastic case serves as insulation to provide reliable protection against electric shocks, so you can be sure the unit is safe to handle.

• Stops burning in 10 seconds in the event of a fire, boosting workplace safety
• Broad operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C for use in demanding conditions
• Mean time between failures of 21,098,000 hours for long-term use

• Consumer electronics
• Machine tools

This DC-DC converter weighs just 19g, so it's easy to handle during installation and won't put pressure on your PCB.

No, you don't need any external parts to use this converter. As it operates at 97% efficiency, there's no need to install a heatsink.
