R2S-2405 - RECOM Power

R2S-2405 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 the R2S-2405 in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the R2S-2405 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's recommended to follow the recommended mounting procedure and ensure the module is securely fastened to the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or dislodging.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter?
  The maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter is 10uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the output voltage.
• Can I use the R2S-2405 in a humid or wet environment?
  The R2S-2405 is designed to operate in a dry environment. While it's not recommended to use the module in a humid or wet environment, it can be used in environments with a relative humidity up to 80% non-condensing. However, it's essential to ensure the module is properly sealed and protected from moisture ingress.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  The recommended input fuse rating is 2A slow-blow or 1A fast-acting fuse. This ensures that the fuse will not blow unnecessarily during normal operation, but will still provide protection in case of a fault condition.
