TCK-103 - Traco Power

TCK-103 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum capacitance value for the input filter capacitor?
  The recommended maximum capacitance value for the input filter capacitor is 47uF to ensure stable operation and prevent oscillations.
• Can I use the TCK-103 in a high-temperature environment?
  While the TCK-103 is rated for operation up to 80°C, it's recommended to derate the output power by 2.5% per °C above 60°C to ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with the TCK-103?
  To ensure EMC, use a metal enclosure, keep the input and output cables short and twisted, and add a common-mode choke and X-capacitors to the input and output lines as recommended in the datasheet.
• What is the minimum input voltage required for the TCK-103 to operate?
  The TCK-103 requires a minimum input voltage of 10.5V to ensure proper operation, although the recommended input voltage range is 12V to 24V.
• Can I parallel multiple TCK-103 modules to increase the output power?
  Yes, you can parallel multiple TCK-103 modules to increase the output power, but ensure that each module has its own input filter capacitor and that the output cables are connected in parallel to minimize voltage drops.
