RE-0505S - RECOM Power

RE-0505S 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.
• How do I ensure the module's input capacitors are properly bypassed?
  RECOM recommends adding external bypass capacitors (e.g., 10uF ceramic and 100nF ceramic) close to the module's input pins to ensure proper decoupling and noise reduction.
• What is the maximum allowed input voltage deviation?
  The RE-0505S can tolerate an input voltage deviation of ±10% of the nominal input voltage without affecting its performance or reliability.
• Can I use the RE-0505S in a high-temperature environment?
  While the RE-0505S is rated for operation up to 80°C, RECOM recommends derating the output power by 2.5% per °C above 60°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
• How do I protect the module from input voltage surges and spikes?
  RECOM recommends adding external surge protection devices (e.g., TVS diodes) to protect the module from input voltage surges and spikes, especially in industrial or automotive applications.
