RECOM manufactures a full range of standard and customized DC/DC and AC/DC converters in every power class from sub-1W to tens of kW, alongside switching regulators and LED drivers in a wide selection of formats. The company headquarters are located in Gmunden, Austria, and include a state-of-the-art logistics, research and development center, and laboratory wing and is supported by a worldwide distribution network. The RECOM name has become synonymous with high quality, integrity, innovation, and excellent customer service.
RECOM’s vision is to provide power supplies that become an essential and efficient part of a wide range of power management applications, thereby further enhancing existing and future technologies. To that end, it is the most innovative power supply company in the world – releasing, on average, approximately one new product every week of the year from our factories in Thailand, Taiwan ROC, China and Europe
These new products are fed into our sophisticated sales and global distribution network so that our customers can sample, purchase and use them in their designs. We have a three-tier distribution system. For fast sampling and evaluation testing, we use the major catalog companies like DigiKey, Mouser, RS and Farnell element 14, enabling our customers to have the product in their desks the next day. For production volumes, we use established manufacturer’s representative companies, major stocking distributors such as Arrow, RichardsonRFPD and Rutronik, or our own sales offices in Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Singapore, Karnataka, Frankfurt, or Denver. For local customer support, we use power supply specialist such as EIL, BCT EHT, Chip 1 Stop, Micropower, rikei, Bentech, Bellnix, Artake, Sistec, Mideriya, power center, Hee seung Power, etc. to name just a few. These locally based companies can offer more comprehensive customer support that many of the larger global distributors have the time for.
RECOM’s portfolio includes over 30.000 different AC/DC, DC/DC and switching regulator products and our mission is to simplify and accelerate the development and manufacturing process of power supplies for new applications across the global electronics industry.
In 2023, we sold 23 million converters, almost 2 million per week, to over 100.000 different customers across the globe, helping them realize their power designs and have a faster time-to-market. The concept of distributed power architecture, the combination of a centralized switching power supply with many local on board isolated and non-isolated converters, enables developers to come up with much more flexible and efficient designs. To this end, we are constantly analysing and reacting to market needs or customer trends to provide them with the products they want. Today, RECOM off-the-shelf modules are available for almost any application in the industrial, medical, railway, transportation and energy sectors.
For example, we identified an issue with WBG transistor gate driver power supplies: each new generation of SiC or GaN transistor has a different optimal gate driver supply voltage, so we released an isolated gate driver DC/DC power supply where the positive and negative drive voltages can be independently adjusted to best match the transistor type and supplier.
We have complete switching regulator power modules that can deliver up to 20A in a 7x7x4.4mm SMD package, or 3A in an even smaller 2.5x3.5x1.6mm package, allowing designers to incorporate point-of-load power supplies in even the smallest designs.
On the other end of the scale, we offer rugged 22kW custom water-cooled AC/DC power supplies for the railway industry to charge high voltage battery packs for electric shunting locomotives to avoid the need for polluting diesel engines in inner city rail termini.
There are other power supply companies who claim to be larger than us because they ship very high volumes of one particular type of product (for example, USB chargers or LED drivers), and there are other power supply manufacturers who might claim to be more innovative than us because they develop many low volume custom designs for just a few select customers, but there is no other power supply manufacturer who can match RECOM’s commitment to the global electronics industry by providing so many innovative solutions across the board to help hundreds of thousands of customers realise their designs.
