R1M-2405S/SMD - RECOM Power

R1M-2405S/SMD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  RECOM recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a solid ground plane to reduce thermal resistance.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the R1M-2405S/SMD is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's essential to ensure that the module is properly secured to the PCB and that the PCB is designed to withstand the vibration levels. RECOM recommends following the recommended PCB layout and securing the module using the recommended screw torque.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter capacitor?
  The maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter capacitor is 47uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module. It's essential to follow the recommended output filter capacitor value and type to ensure stable operation.
• Can I use this module in a humid or wet environment?
  The R1M-2405S/SMD is designed to operate in a dry environment with a relative humidity of up to 60%. Operating the module in a humid or wet environment may reduce its reliability and lifespan. If operation in a humid environment is necessary, RECOM recommends applying a conformal coating to the module and following proper humidity protection measures.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  The recommended input fuse rating is 2A slow-blow. This ensures that the module is protected from input overcurrent conditions and allows for safe operation.
