R1S-0524/HP - RECOM Power

R1S-0524/HP 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 2 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the R1S-0524/HP is designed to withstand high vibrations. However, it's essential to ensure that the module is properly secured to the PCB and that the PCB is rigid enough to prevent flexing or cracking. Additionally, the module's connections should be secured with a suitable strain relief to prevent wire fatigue.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance on the output?
  The maximum allowed capacitance on the output of the R1S-0524/HP is 47µF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module. It's essential to ensure that the output capacitance is within the recommended range to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this module in a humid or wet environment?
  The R1S-0524/HP has a conformal coating that provides some protection against humidity. However, it's not designed for use in wet or submerged environments. If the module will be exposed to high humidity or moisture, additional protection measures such as potting or conformal coating should be considered.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  RECOM recommends using a fuse with a rating of 1A to 2A, depending on the specific application and input voltage. The fuse should be able to handle the maximum input current of the module, which is 2.5A for the R1S-0524/HP.
