ROE-1505S - RECOM Power

ROE-1505S 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 the ROE-1505S in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the ROE-1505S is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's recommended to follow the recommended mounting procedure and ensure the module is securely fastened to the PCB or chassis to prevent damage or dislodging.
• What is the maximum capacitance I can use on the output?
  The maximum capacitance on the output depends on the specific application and the desired output voltage ripple. As a general rule, RECOM recommends limiting the output capacitance to 10uF or less to prevent oscillation and ensure stable operation.
• Can I use the ROE-1505S in a redundant configuration?
  Yes, the ROE-1505S can be used in a redundant configuration to achieve higher reliability and availability. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and that the system is designed to handle the increased power dissipation and heat generation.
• What is the recommended input fuse rating?
  RECOM recommends using a fuse with a rating of 2-3 times the maximum input current to ensure safe and reliable operation. The exact fuse rating may vary depending on the specific application and the input voltage range.
