SWM30-24-EV-P5 - CUI Inc.

SWM30-24-EV-P5 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  CUI Inc recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and thermal vias to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended. Additionally, a thermal interface material (TIM) with a thermal conductivity of 1W/m-K or higher is suggested between the module and the heat sink.
• How do I ensure reliable start-up and shutdown of the module?
  To ensure reliable start-up and shutdown, CUI Inc recommends a soft-start circuit to limit inrush current and a shutdown circuit to prevent back-EMF damage. Additionally, a minimum input capacitance of 10uF is recommended to filter out input voltage noise.
• What is the maximum allowable output capacitance for the SWM30-24-EV-P5?
  The maximum allowable output capacitance for the SWM30-24-EV-P5 is 220uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the output voltage.
• Can I use the SWM30-24-EV-P5 in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the SWM30-24-EV-P5 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, CUI Inc recommends following the recommended PCB mounting and screw torque specifications to ensure reliable operation.
• What is the typical efficiency of the SWM30-24-EV-P5 at different loads?
  The typical efficiency of the SWM30-24-EV-P5 is around 85% at 50% load, 83% at 25% load, and 80% at 10% load. Please refer to the datasheet for detailed efficiency curves.
