RAC05E-05SK - RECOM Power

RAC05E-05SK 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 and a thermal via array under the module are also recommended.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RAC05E-05SK is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in industrial and transportation applications. However, it's essential to ensure proper mounting and screw torque to prevent damage.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with this module?
  To ensure EMC, RECOM recommends using a suitable filter at the input and output of the module, as well as following proper PCB layout and grounding practices. Additionally, the module should be installed in a metal enclosure to reduce electromagnetic radiation.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter?
  The maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter is 47μF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module. It's essential to follow the recommended output filter configuration to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC05E-05SK can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration to achieve higher power or redundancy. However, it's crucial to ensure proper synchronization and control of the modules to prevent damage or instability.
