PQP1-D12-S5-D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  CUI recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the tab of the device to dissipate heat effectively. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be at least 1 inch x 1 inch in size.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the PQP1-D12-S5-D is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in high-vibration environments. However, it's essential to ensure proper mounting and screw torque to prevent damage.
• What is the maximum capacitance load that can be connected to the output?
  The maximum capacitance load that can be connected to the output of the PQP1-D12-S5-D is 10,000 μF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the output voltage.
• Is the module protected against input overvoltage?
  Yes, the PQP1-D12-S5-D has built-in overvoltage protection (OVP) that can withstand input voltages up to 18V. However, it's essential to ensure that the input voltage does not exceed the maximum rating for an extended period to prevent damage.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the PQP1-D12-S5-D can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration to achieve higher power ratings or redundancy. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and configured to prevent damage or instability.
