RS3E-1205S/H3 - RECOM Power

RS3E-1205S/H3 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 this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the RS3E-1205S/H3 is designed to withstand high vibrations. It has been tested to meet the IEC 60068-2-6 standard for vibration, which includes sinusoidal vibration at 10-2000 Hz, 2 mm amplitude, and 10 G acceleration.
• How do I ensure the module's reliability in a humid environment?
  To ensure reliability in a humid environment, RECOM recommends conformal coating the module and following proper storage and handling procedures. The module should be stored in a dry, clean environment, and handling should be done with gloves and an anti-static wrist strap.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for this module?
  RECOM recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10-22 μF, X7R or X5R dielectric, and a voltage rating of 50-100 V. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the module's input pins.
• Can I use this module in a redundant configuration?
  Yes, the RS3E-1205S/H3 can be used in a redundant configuration. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and that the system is designed to handle the increased power consumption and heat generation.
