RAC05E-12SK - RECOM Power

RAC05E-12SK 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 RAC05E-12SK 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.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter capacitor?
  RECOM recommends using an output filter capacitor with a maximum capacitance of 47uF to ensure stable operation and prevent oscillations. Exceeding this value may lead to instability or reduced performance.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC05E-12SK can be used in redundant or parallel configurations to achieve higher power ratings or improve system reliability. However, it's essential to follow proper design guidelines and ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and isolated to prevent damage or instability.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating for this module?
  RECOM recommends using a fuse with a rating of 2A to 5A, depending on the specific application and input voltage. The fuse should be able to handle the maximum input current and provide adequate protection against overcurrent conditions.
