These converters are available from the world’s leading distributors. The high performance products are engineered in Europe and offer high isolation, high ambient temperatures and high efficiency combined with a low cost of ownership.
“At RECOM, we have a very simple quality objective: Zero defects,” says Karsten Bier, CEO of the RECOM Group. “We make no compromise and use the best parts available in the market,” he continues. All prototypes are HALT-tested in the company’s environmental laboratory prior to release. Once a product is in the market, samples are re-tested on a regular basis to ensure ‘Total Quality’. Some of the products have a tested ‘design lifetime’ of >70,000 hours, which is why the company can easily offer a product warranty of up to 5 years!
“Tough times is good news,” Bier says in response to comments regarding a not so bright economic outlook. The company has made significant investments in new products during the past 18 months and is set to grow faster than the industry average. The company’s growth is driven by its well-established practice of using certified converter modules rather than discrete solutions. “Time to market is what counts for most of our customers,” says Bier, “even if the BOM is a little higher.”
