RAC05E-05SKT - RECOM Power

RAC05E-05SKT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  RECOM recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area for heat dissipation, and a thermal management system with a heat sink and thermal interface material to keep the junction temperature below 100°C.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with this module?
  To ensure EMC, RECOM recommends using a metal enclosure, proper grounding, and filtering of input and output lines. Additionally, the module should be placed at least 10mm away from other components and cables.
• What is the derating curve for this module, and how does it affect the output power?
  The derating curve for RAC05E-05SKT is typically 2.5% per °C above 50°C. This means that for every 1°C increase in temperature above 50°C, the output power will decrease by 2.5%. Engineers should consider this when designing their system to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC05E-05SKT can be used in redundant or parallel configurations, but RECOM recommends consulting their application notes and performing thorough testing to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the modules.
• What are the recommended input and output capacitors for this module?
  RECOM recommends using low-ESR capacitors with a minimum capacitance of 10uF for the input and output filters. The specific capacitor values and types may vary depending on the application and system requirements.
