REC20K-2412SZ - RECOM Power

REC20K-2412SZ 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 2oz 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 REC20K-2412SZ is designed to withstand high vibrations. However, it's essential to ensure that the module is properly secured to the PCB and the PCB is securely fastened to the chassis to prevent any damage or disconnection.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for this module?
  RECOM Power Inc recommends using a low-ESR capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF, X7R or X5R dielectric, and a voltage rating of 50V or higher. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the module's input pins.
• Can I parallel multiple modules to increase the output power?
  Yes, it is possible to parallel multiple REC20K-2412SZ modules to increase the output power. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are identical, and the output voltages are matched to within 1% to prevent any imbalance or damage.
• What is the maximum allowed input voltage deviation from the nominal value?
  The REC20K-2412SZ can tolerate an input voltage deviation of ±10% from the nominal value. Exceeding this limit may affect the module's performance, efficiency, or reliability.
