• Cost-Effective Power Supplies

    While discrete AC/DC, DC/DC or switching regulator power designs were once considered the lowest-cost default solution, hidden development and certification costs, EMC re-tests, and component tolerance issues frequently lead to delayed product launches and costly redesigns. By leveraging advanced SMT manufacturing and massive economies of scale, RECOM delivers complete, pre-tested, and fully certified AC/DC, DC/DC and switching regulator power modules at highly competitive price points.

    RECOM uniquely also offers discrete solutions (transformer driver ICs, transformers and secondary side rectifier ICs) so designers can start with a power module and switch to a discrete solution as the project volume builds up. Whether you need on-board or off-board AC/DC power supplies, regulated or unregulated DC/DC converters, switching regulators, or LED drivers, RECOM offers budget-friendly solutions built to lower total cost of ownership. Using complete, pre-certified power modules accelerates time-to-market by simplifying safety and EMC compliance, while dramatically reducing Bill of Materials (BoM) complexity by replacing dozens of discrete components with a single, highly reliable module.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Cost-effective power modules drastically reduce engineering development time, simplify PCB layout, and eliminate risks linked to component tolerances, EMC testing, and safety re-certifications. Sourcing a single pre-tested AC/DC power supply or DC/DC converter simplifies the Bill of Materials (BoM), accelerates time-to-market, and lowers overall project lifetime costs compared to building discrete power circuits.
    Engineers can control costs by specifying fully integrated, pre-certified power modules built using modern automated SMT manufacturing. Choosing a proven platform solution delivers high efficiency, compact power density, and built-in circuit protection—allowing you to reduce overall development and procurement expenses without sacrificing long-term reliability.
    Key factors include required input/output voltage ranges, power density, operating temperature limits, and safety certifications (such as IEC/EN 62368-1). Engineers should also evaluate total cost of ownership—factoring in reduced testing time, simplified procurement, and lower design-in risk alongside the initial module price.
