Description
The Bel xRAH-03L2A0 modules are a series of non-isolated, step down dc/dc converters that operate from a
nominal 12 Vdc source. These converters are available in an output voltage range from 0.9 Vdc to 5 Vdc. It is
packaged in a compact, overmolded package rated at 3 A (0.9 Vdc-3.3 Vdc) and 2 A (5 Vdc). Optional lead
forming provides a vertical mount product for minimal footprint or a surface mount option for a very low profile.
The output is closely regulated and the efficiency is typically 91% at full load. Typical features include remote
on/off, over current protection and short circuit protection.

Output Trim Equations
Equations for calculating the trim resistor (in kΩ) given the desired adjusted voltage (Vadj) and the nominal output
voltage of the converter (Vo) are shown below. The Trim Up resistor should be connected between the Trim pin
and Ground. Only one of the resistors should be used for any given application.
