RAC01-24SC - RECOM Power

RAC01-24SC 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 at least 1 inch x 1 inch in size.
• Can I use the RAC01-24SC in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RAC01-24SC is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, 10-2000 Hz frequency range, and 3 axes. However, it's recommended to follow the recommended PCB layout and mounting guidelines to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the module's input voltage stays within the recommended range?
  Use a suitable input voltage regulator or a voltage stabilizer to ensure the input voltage stays within the recommended range of 18-32VDC. Additionally, consider using a voltage supervisor or a power-good signal to monitor the input voltage and prevent damage to the module.
• What is the maximum ambient temperature for reliable operation?
  The RAC01-24SC is designed to operate reliably up to 80°C ambient temperature, with a derating of 2.5% per °C above 60°C. However, it's recommended to keep the ambient temperature below 60°C for optimal performance and reliability.
• Can I use the RAC01-24SC in a humid environment?
  Yes, the RAC01-24SC is designed to operate in humid environments, but it's recommended to follow the recommended storage and operating conditions to prevent moisture-related issues. The module is not designed for operation in condensing environments.
