RS3E-2415S/H3 - RECOM Power

RS3E-2415S/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-2415S/H3 is designed to withstand high vibrations. It is compliant with IEC 60068-2-6, which specifies the vibration test requirements for electrical equipment. However, it's recommended to consult with RECOM's application engineers to ensure the module is properly mounted and secured to withstand the specific vibration environment.
• What is the derating curve for this module?
  RECOM provides a derating curve for the RS3E-2415S/H3, which can be obtained by contacting their technical support team. The derating curve shows the recommended output power reduction at elevated temperatures to ensure the module's reliability and lifespan.
• Can I use this module in a humid environment?
  The RS3E-2415S/H3 is designed to operate in a humid environment, but it's recommended to follow the guidelines outlined in the datasheet for humidity and temperature operating ranges. Additionally, RECOM recommends conformal coating the module to protect it from moisture and humidity.
• What is the MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) for this module?
  RECOM provides an MTBF calculation for the RS3E-2415S/H3 based on the Telcordia SR-332 Issue 4 method. The MTBF is typically in the range of 1-2 million hours, depending on the operating conditions and environment. Contact RECOM's technical support team for more information.
