The EHHD015A0A provides 5V nominal output dc dc voltage rated for 15Adc output current. The module incorporates GE’s vast heritage for reliability and quality, while also using the latest in technology, and component and process standardization to achieve highly competitive cost. The open frame module construction, available in both surface-mount and through-hole packaging, enable designers to develop cost and space efficient solutions. The module achieves typical full load efficiency greater than 90% at V =24V and V =48V . Standard features include IN dc IN dc remote On/Off, remote sense, output voltage adjustment, overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature protection. An optional heat plate allows for external standard, eighth-brick heat sink attachment to achieve higher output current in high temperature applications. * Trademark of General Electric Company # UL is a registered trademark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. † CSA is a registered trademark of Canadian Standards Association. ‡ VDE is a trademark of Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker e.V. § This product is intended for integration into end-user equipment .

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 an integrated part of sophisticated power architectures. 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 10 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.

Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with desiccant are provided for the EHHD015A0Axx-SZ modules. These sealed packages should not be broken until time of use. Once the original package is broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of ≤ 30°C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD-033A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages is a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative humidity. Pick and Place Figure 25.
