An input line fuse must always be used. This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to being part of a complex power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included, however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 6 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used.

PWBs Power Module Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow, module power dissipation, and the need for increased reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of the module will result in an increase in reliability. The thermal data presented here is based on physical measurements taken in a wind tunnel. The test set-up is shown in Figure 76.2_ 32. Note that the airflow is parallel to the long axis of the (3.0) module as shown in figure 31. The derating data applies to x airflow in either direction of the module’s long axis. Probe Loc ation for measuring 5.97_ airflow and (0.235) ambient temperature Air flow Figure 32. Thermal Test Set-up. Heat Transfer via Convection Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat transfer via convection. Thermal derating curves showing the maximum output current that can be delivered by various module versus local ambient temperature (T ) for A natural convection and up to 0.5m/s (100 ft./min) are shown in the Characteristics Curves section. Figure 31. T Temperature measurement location. ref The thermal reference point, Tref used in the specifications is shown in Figure 32. For reliable operation this temperature o should not exceed 115 C. The output power of the module should not exceed the rated power of the module (Vo,set x Io,max).

The modules are fitted with a label designed to provide a large surface area for pick and placing. The label meets all the requirements for surface mount processing, as well as safety standards and is able to withstand maximum reflow temperature. The label also carries product information such as product code, serial number and location of manufacture. REFLOW TIME (S) Figure 34. Reflow Profile for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. Figure 33. Pick and Place Location. Nozzle Recommendations The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open frame construction. Even so, these modules have a relatively large mass when compared to conventional SMT components. Variables such as nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and pick & placement speed should be considered to optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for reliable operation is 3mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is 8 mm max. o Figure 35. Time Limit Curve Above 205 C Reflow for Tin Lead (Sn/Pb) process. Tin Lead Soldering TM The Austin MiniLynx 12V SMT power modules are lead free modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. It is recommended that the customer review data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow profile for each application board assembly. The following instructions must be observed when soldering these units. Failure to observe these instructions may result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules, and can adversely affect long-term reliability. In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak o reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235 C. o Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183 C, wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the connection to ensure a reliable solder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently used in the industry. These surface mount power modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), or a combination of convection/IR.
