Murata recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to ensure optimal thermal performance. Additionally, keeping the component away from heat sources and using thermal vias can help reduce thermal resistance.
To ensure reliable soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a small amount of solder paste to the pads. Avoid applying excessive force or pressure, which can damage the component.
The maximum allowable voltage derating for the 17686C is 10% of the rated input voltage. Exceeding this derating may affect the component's reliability and performance.
While the 17686C is designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures, it's not recommended for use in high-humidity environments (>80% RH) without proper protection. Consider using conformal coating or potting to ensure reliability in such environments.
Murata recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10 μF to 22 μF, rated for the input voltage range. This helps to reduce input ripple and ensure stable operation.
