RS3E-2405S/H3 - RECOM Power

RS3E-2405S/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-2405S/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, 2G amplitude, and random vibration at 10-2000 Hz, 4G RMS. However, it's recommended to consult with RECOM's application engineers to ensure the module meets the specific vibration requirements of your application.
• How do I ensure the module's reliability in high-temperature environments?
  To ensure reliability in high-temperature environments, it's essential to follow RECOM's derating guidelines for temperature. The module's output power should be derated by 2.5% per degree Celsius above 40°C. Additionally, ensure good airflow around the module, and consider using a heat sink or a metal plate to dissipate heat. It's also recommended to consult with RECOM's application engineers for specific guidance on thermal management.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for this module?
  RECOM recommends using a low-ESR input 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 to minimize noise and ensure stable operation.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the RS3E-2405S/H3 can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration. However, it's essential to follow RECOM's guidelines for parallel operation, including using identical modules, ensuring identical input and output connections, and providing adequate heat dissipation. It's recommended to consult with RECOM's application engineers for specific guidance on redundant or parallel configurations.
