RAC05-05SK/C14 - RECOM Power

RAC05-05SK/C14 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 this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RAC05-05SK/C14 is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in industrial and transportation applications. However, it's recommended to follow proper mounting and screw torque guidelines to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the module's electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in my system?
  To ensure EMC, RECOM recommends following proper PCB layout and design guidelines, using a metal enclosure, and implementing adequate filtering and shielding. Additionally, the module's input and output cables should be kept as short as possible and routed away from sensitive components.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating for this module?
  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 module's maximum input current and provide adequate protection against overcurrent conditions.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC05-05SK/C14 can be used in redundant or parallel configurations to achieve higher power ratings or improve system reliability. However, it's essential to follow RECOM's guidelines for parallel operation and ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and monitored.
