RAC05-15SK - RECOM Power

RAC05-15SK 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 RAC05-15SK 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 procedures to ensure the module remains securely attached to the PCB.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter?
  RECOM recommends an output filter capacitance of up to 220uF to ensure stable operation. Exceeding this value may lead to instability or oscillation in the output voltage.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC05-15SK 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 paralleling and redundancy to ensure proper operation and avoid potential issues.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating for this module?
  RECOM recommends an input fuse rating of 1A to 2A, depending on the specific application and input voltage. A slower-blow fuse is recommended to ensure the module's internal overcurrent protection has time to respond to fault conditions.
