Traco Power recommends a PCB layout with a large copper area connected to the module's thermal pad to ensure good heat dissipation. A minimum of 1 oz copper thickness is recommended, and the copper area should be connected to a heat sink or a metal plate for further heat dissipation.
To ensure reliability in high-vibration environments, Traco Power recommends securing the module to the PCB using screws or adhesive, and using a conformal coating to protect the module from moisture and contaminants. Additionally, the PCB should be designed to minimize flexure and stress on the module.
The maximum capacitance on the output of the TSP-BCM24A is 2200uF. Exceeding this value may cause instability or oscillation in the module. It's recommended to use a capacitance value that is within the specified range to ensure stable operation.
Yes, the TSP-BCM24A can be used in a redundant configuration to achieve high availability and reliability. However, it's essential to ensure that the modules are properly synchronized and that the system is designed to handle the redundancy correctly.
Traco Power recommends using a fuse with a rating of 2A to 5A, depending on the specific application and input voltage. The fuse should be able to handle the maximum input current and provide adequate protection against overcurrent conditions.
