Recom Switching Regulator, Through Hole, 12V dc Output Voltage, 14 → 32V dc Input Voltage, 2A Output Current, 1

This switching regulator from RECOM reliably changes input voltage and current to safe outputs for your circuitry. It's a DC-DC converter that transforms incoming voltages of between 14 and 32V to 12V and 2A, making it a versatile choice. High conversion capabilities offer better energy efficiency in the long run, while synchronous rectification ensures a high competency rate of up to 96%. To prevent component damage and improve durability, integrated overload protection keeps source currents under 50mA.
