REC20-2415S - RECOM Power

REC20-2415S 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 the REC20-2415S in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the REC20-2415S 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 output filter capacitor?
  The maximum allowable capacitance for the output filter capacitor is 1000uF. Exceeding this value may affect the stability of the output voltage and may cause oscillations.
• Can I use the REC20-2415S in a humid or wet environment?
  The REC20-2415S is designed to operate in a dry environment. If the module is to be used in a humid or wet environment, it's recommended to apply a conformal coating to protect the module from moisture. However, the module's performance and reliability may be affected in such environments.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating for the REC20-2415S?
  The recommended input fuse rating for the REC20-2415S is 2A slow-blow or 1A fast-acting fuse. This is to protect the module from input overcurrent and overvoltage conditions.
