Richardson RFPD has signed a global distribution agreement with RECOM Power. Kevin Connor, Richardson RFPD vice president of the Energy, Power & Interconnect commented: "Recently, our customers started requesting additional help with DC/DC converters, LED driver modules, and other key building block solutions for high-power inverter applications. We sought a key addition to our already substantial product offering in order to best meet these needs." Connor added, "RECOM's dedication to design excellence, product availability and quality manufacturing fills an important gap, increasing system performance for our OEM customers." Christoph Wolf, RECOM Power Senior Executive Vice-President responded, "With this agreement, we expand our global reach with a distributor that is committed to the OEM design-in process in all energy and power markets. The field sales engineers at Richardson RFPD are considered to be among the best in the industry, with a key focus on high power electronics applications." Increasingly OEMs purchase DC/DC converters as a finished module, instead of designing each converter circuit themselves. This trend also applies to all segments of the electronics industry, including industrial automation, transportation engineering, telecommunications, data technology, measurement technology, and medical electronics.
