RAM-0505S/H - RECOM Power

RAM-0505S/H 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 connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
• Can I use the RAM-0505S/H in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RAM-0505S/H is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's recommended to follow the recommended mounting and screw torque specifications to ensure the module is securely fastened to the PCB or chassis.
• What is the maximum allowable capacitance for the input and output capacitors?
  The maximum allowable capacitance for the input and output capacitors is not explicitly stated in the datasheet. However, RECOM recommends using capacitors with a maximum capacitance of 10uF for the input and 22uF for the output to ensure stable operation and minimize the risk of oscillation.
• Can I use the RAM-0505S/H in a humid or wet environment?
  The RAM-0505S/H is designed to operate in a dry environment with a relative humidity of up to 60%. Operating the module in a humid or wet environment may affect its reliability and lifespan. If operation in a humid environment is necessary, it's recommended to use conformal coating or other environmental protection measures.
• What is the recommended input voltage range for the RAM-0505S/H?
  The recommended input voltage range for the RAM-0505S/H is 36V to 72V. Operating the module outside of this range may affect its performance, efficiency, and reliability.
