RAC20-12DK/277 - RECOM Power

RAC20-12DK/277 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 following the layout and grounding guidelines in the datasheet, using a metal enclosure, and adding EMI filters and shielding as necessary.
• What is the derating curve for this module at high temperatures?
  The derating curve can be obtained from RECOM's application notes or by contacting their technical support. Generally, the module's output power should be derated by 1.5% per °C above 50°C to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RAC20-12DK/277 can be used in redundant or parallel configurations, but RECOM recommends consulting their application notes and technical support to ensure proper design and implementation.
• What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) of this module?
  The MTBF of the RAC20-12DK/277 is typically above 500,000 hours, but the exact value depends on the operating conditions and can be obtained from RECOM's reliability reports or by contacting their technical support.
