RCD-24-1.00/PL/A-R - RECOM Power

RCD-24-1.00/PL/A-R 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 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 RCD-24-1.00/PL/A-R is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in high-vibration environments. However, it's essential to ensure proper mounting and screwing of the module to the PCB to prevent damage.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter?
  RECOM recommends an output filter capacitance of up to 100uF to ensure stable operation. Exceeding this value may lead to instability or oscillations in the output voltage.
• Can I use this module in a humid or wet environment?
  The RCD-24-1.00/PL/A-R has a conformal coating to protect it from humidity, but it's not designed for use in wet environments. If you need to use it in a humid environment, ensure that the module is properly sealed and protected from moisture ingress.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  RECOM recommends using a fuse with a rating of 1A to 2A, 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.
