Schaffner recommends a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a thermal relief pattern to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended. Additionally, a thermal interface material (TIM) should be used between the component and the heat sink.
To ensure EMC, Schaffner recommends following the guidelines outlined in the IEC 61800-3 standard. This includes proper shielding, filtering, and grounding of the component. Additionally, the component should be installed in a metal enclosure with a minimum of 1 mm thickness.
The maximum operating temperature range for the FN3256H-160-40 is -40°C to +100°C. However, derating is required for temperatures above 80°C. Consult the datasheet for specific derating curves.
Yes, the FN3256H-160-40 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. However, it's essential to follow Schaffner's guidelines for mounting and securing the component to ensure reliable operation.
Schaffner recommends storing the FN3256H-160-40 in its original packaging, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The component should be handled with electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions, and it's essential to follow proper soldering and assembly procedures to prevent damage.
