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

RCD-24-1.00/PL/A 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 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 screwing procedures to ensure the module is securely fastened to the PCB or chassis.
• What is the maximum allowed capacitance for the output filter?
  RECOM recommends an output filter capacitance of up to 1000uF to ensure stable operation and minimize output voltage ripple. Exceeding this value may lead to instability or oscillations in the converter.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RCD-24-1.00/PL/A can be used in redundant or parallel configurations to achieve higher power ratings or improve system reliability. However, it's essential to follow RECOM's guidelines for parallel and redundant operation, and ensure proper synchronization and current sharing between modules.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating for this module?
  RECOM recommends an input fuse 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 input overcurrent conditions.
