RECOM expanded its portfolio of dimmable LED drivers with the addition of two new dimmable LED drivers: the 25 W RACD25-A and the 35 W RACD35-A. Each features 3-in-1 dimming, allowing the modules to be dimmed with an analog signal (1 - 10 V), PWM or external resistor.
With a wide input voltage range (90 - 305 V a.c.), these versatile drivers are well suited for power grids worldwide. Each is available in a choice of output currents, ranging from 350 mA to 2100 mA, making them capable of powering a wide range of chip-on-board LEDs.
Each unit offers power factors exceeding 0,98 at 120 V a.c., 0,93 at 240 V a.c. and 0,9 at 277 V a.c., and efficiency of more than 81% for the RACD25-A and 83% for the RACD35-A. Both modules are just slightly larger than a deck of cards (102 x 73,5 x 33 mm) and integrate easily into almost any application.
Fully protected against short circuit, overload and over-temperature, these units carry double-isolated wires and come housed in IP67-rated casing, making them environmentally versatile, usable both indoors and outdoors, in damp and in wet areas. Ideal applications include general lighting, public buildings, retail, outdoor lighting, architectural lighting and bathrooms.
The RACD25-A and RACD35-A are UL8750 and EN61347 certified, and also comply with the European harmonics standard EN61000-3-2 Class B. Each driver is backed by a five-year warranty.
