REM2-1212D - RECOM Power

REM2-1212D 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.
• Can I use the REM2-1212D in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the REM2-1212D is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in industrial and transportation applications.
• How do I ensure the module's reliability in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure reliability, RECOM recommends derating the module's output power by 2.5% per degree Celsius above 40°C. Additionally, ensure good airflow and a clean, dry environment.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the REM2-1212D?
  RECOM recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10-22 μF, X7R or X5R dielectric, and a voltage rating of 50V or higher.
• Can I parallel multiple REM2-1212D modules to increase output power?
  Yes, multiple REM2-1212D modules can be paralleled to increase output power. However, RECOM recommends using a dedicated current sharing bus and ensuring that the modules are properly synchronized to prevent oscillations.
