Description
The Bel VRBC-16A1Ax is part of the non-isolated dc/dc converter Power Module series. The modules use a SIP
package. These converters are available in a range of output voltages from 0.75 Vdc to 5.0 Vdc over a wide
range of input voltage (Vin = 8.3 Vdc - 14 Vdc).The efficiency is typically 92% at 3.3 Vout at full load.

Notes:
1.Change the last character to “C” to indicate 0.20’’ pin length and active low.
2. Add “G” suffix at the end of the model number to indicate Tray Packaging.
3. All part numbers above indicate RoHS 6. Change the second letter "R" to "7" for RoHS 5 part numbers.
