XP Power recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be at least 1 inch x 1 inch in size.
Yes, the STS1024S05 is designed to withstand high-vibration environments. It meets the IEC 60068-2-6 vibration test standard, which ensures it can operate reliably in applications with vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration.
The input fuse should be sized based on the module's maximum input current rating, which is 2A for the STS1024S05. A fuse with a rating of 2A to 3A is recommended to provide a safe margin and prevent damage to the module.
XP Power recommends using a low-ESR ceramic capacitor with a value of 10uF to 22uF, rated for at least 25V, as close to the module's input pins as possible. This helps to filter input noise and ensure stable operation.
Yes, the STS1024S05 can be used in redundant or parallel configurations to achieve higher power output or redundancy. However, it's essential to follow XP Power's guidelines for paralleling and redundancy to ensure reliable operation and avoid damage to the modules.
