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 time-delay fuse with a maximum rating of 5 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.

Information MSL Rating The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the SAC The KNW015A0F-88 modules have a MSL rating of 3. (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant components. They are designed to be processed through single or dual wave soldering machines. The Storage and Handling pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible The recommended storage environment and handling with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The wave packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, preheat process should be such that the temperature of Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive the power module board is kept below 210C. For Pb Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier bags (MBB) solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C, and, with desiccant are required for MSL ratings of 2 or for Pb-free solder, the recommended pot temperature is greater. These sealed packages should not be broken 270C max. Not all RoHS-compliant through-hole until time of use. Once the original package is broken, products can be processed with paste-through-hole Pb the floor life of the product at conditions of  30°C and or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information is 60% relative humidity varies according to the MSL rating needed, please consult with your GE representative for (see J-STD-033A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT more details. packages will be a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative humidity. Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical board testing.
