R24P215S/X2 - RECOM Power

R24P215S/X2 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 R24P215S/X2 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 rigid enough to prevent flexing or bending, which could cause damage to the module or its connections.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter?
  RECOM recommends an output filter capacitance of up to 1000uF. Exceeding this value may affect the module's stability and performance. It's essential to consult with RECOM's application notes and technical support for specific guidance on output filter design.
• Can I use this module in a humid or wet environment?
  The R24P215S/X2 has a conformal coating that provides some protection against humidity and moisture. However, it's not designed for immersion in water or exposure to high-pressure washes. If you need to use the module in a humid or wet environment, consult with RECOM's technical support for specific guidance and recommendations.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  RECOM recommends a fuse rating of 2A to 5A, depending on the specific application and input voltage. The fuse should be selected based on the module's input current rating and the maximum expected input voltage.
