RACM06E-15SK/277 - RECOM Power

RACM06E-15SK/277 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  RECOM Power Inc recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RACM06E-15SK/277 is designed to withstand high vibrations. However, it's essential to ensure that the module is properly secured to the PCB and that the PCB is rigid enough to prevent flexing or cracking. Additionally, the module's pins should be soldered securely to the PCB to prevent damage from vibration.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for this module?
  RECOM Power Inc recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10-22 μF, rated for at least 50 V, as close to the module's input pins as possible. This helps to filter out input noise and ensure stable operation.
• Can I use this module in a humid or wet environment?
  The RACM06E-15SK/277 has a conformal coating that provides some protection against humidity. However, it's not designed for use in wet or submerged environments. If you need to use the module in a humid environment, ensure that it's properly sealed and that the PCB is designed to prevent moisture ingress.
• What is the maximum allowed output capacitance for this module?
  The maximum allowed output capacitance for the RACM06E-15SK/277 is 47 μF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the output voltage. It's essential to ensure that the output capacitance is within the recommended range to ensure stable operation.
