PM2110-180K-RC - Bourns

PM2110-180K-RC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance?
  Bourns recommends a symmetrical PCB layout with a solid ground plane, and keeping the input and output traces as short as possible to minimize parasitic inductance and capacitance.
• How do I ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow proper thermal management practices, such as providing adequate airflow, using thermal interfaces, and derating the component according to the temperature derating curve provided in the datasheet.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage stress on the input pins?
  The maximum allowable voltage stress on the input pins is 1.5 times the rated voltage, but it's recommended to limit the voltage stress to 1.2 times the rated voltage to ensure reliable operation and prevent damage to the component.
• Can I use this component in a high-reliability or safety-critical application?
  The PM2110-180K-RC is a commercial-grade component, and it's not intended for use in high-reliability or safety-critical applications. For such applications, it's recommended to use components with higher reliability ratings, such as those with a MIL-PRF-39003 or AEC-Q200 certification.
• What is the recommended storage and handling procedure to prevent damage?
  To prevent damage, it's recommended to store the PM2110-180K-RC in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. Handling should be done with anti-static wrist straps or mats, and the component should be soldered within the recommended temperature range.
