This power module is not internally fused. To achieve
optimum safety and system protection, an input line fuse
is highly recommended. The safety agencies require a
normal-blow fuse with 1A maximum rating to be installed
in the ungrounded lead. A lower rated fuse can be used
based on the maximum inrush transient energy and
maximum input current.
Soldering and Cleaning Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final board assembly
process before the board or system undergoes electrical
testing. Inadequate cleaning and/or drying may lower
the reliability of a power module and severely affect the
finished circuit board assembly test. Adequate cleaning
and/or drying is especially important for un-encapsulated
and/or open frame type power modules. For assistance
on appropriate soldering and cleaning procedures,
please contact Delta’s technical support team.
DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Input Source Impedance
The impedance of the input source connecting to the
DC/DC power modules will interact with the modules
and affect the stability. A low ac-impedance input source
is recommended. If the source inductance is more than
a few µH, we advise adding a 10 to 100 µF electrolytic
capacitor (ESR < 0.7 at 100 kHz) mounted close to
the input of the module to improve the stability.
Layout and EMC Considerations
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are designed to operate
in a wide variety of systems and applications. For design
assistance with EMC compliance and related PWB
layout issues, please contact Delta’s technical support
team. An external input filter module is available for
easier EMC compliance design. Application notes to
assist designers in addressing these issues are pending
release.
Safety Considerations
The power module must be installed in compliance with
the spacing and separation requirements of the end-
user’s safety agency standard if the system in which the
power module is to be used must meet safety agency
requirements.
When the input source is 60Vdc or below, the power
module meets SELV (safety extra-low voltage)
requirements. If the input source is a hazardous voltage
which is greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to
75 Vdc, for the module’s output to meet SELV
requirements, all of the following must be met:
The input source must be insulated from any
hazardous voltages, including the ac mains, with
reinforced insulation.
One Vi pin and one Vo pin are grounded, or all the
input and output pins are kept floating.
The input terminals of the module are not operator
accessible.
A SELV reliability test is conducted on the system
where the module is used to ensure that under a
single fault, hazardous voltage does not appear at
the module’s output.
Do not ground one of the input pins without grounding
one of the output pins. This connection may allow a non-
SELV voltage to appear between the output pin and
ground.

Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power.
Remote ON/OFF
The remote on/off feature on the module can be eithe
r
negative or positive logic. Negative logic turns the
module on during a logic low and off during a logic high.
Positive logic turns the modules on during a logic high
and off during a logic low. Remote on/off can be
controlled by an external switch between the on/of
f
terminal and the Vi(-) terminal. The switch can be an
open collector or open drain. If the remote on/off feature
is not used, please short the on/off pin to Vi(-) fo
r

FEATURES DESCRIPTIONS
Over-Current Protection
The modules include an internal output over-current
protection circuit, which will endure current limiting for
an unlimited duration during output overload. If the
output current exceeds the OCP set point, the modules
will automatically shut down (hiccup mode).
The modules will try to restart after shutdown. If the
overload condition still exists, the module will shut down
again. This restart trial will continue until the overload
condition is corrected.
Over-Voltage Protection
The modules include an internal output over-voltage
protection circuit, which monitors the voltage on the
output terminals. If this voltage exceeds the over-voltage
set point, the module will shut down and latch off. The
over-voltage latch is reset by either cycling the input
power or by toggling the on/off signal for one second.
Output Voltage Adjustment (TRIM)
To increase or decrease the output voltage set point, the
modules may be connected with an external resistor
between the TRIM pin and either the Vo+ or Vo -. The
TRIM pin should be left open if this feature is not used.

THERMAL CONSIDERATIONS
Thermal management is an important part of the system
design. To ensure proper, reliable operation, sufficient
cooling of the power module is needed over the entire
temperature range of the module. Convection cooling is
usually the dominant mode of heat transfer.
Hence, the choice of equipment to characterize the
thermal performance of the power module is a wind
tunnel.
Thermal Testing Setup
Delta’s DC/DC power modules are characterized in
heated vertical wind tunnels that simulate the thermal
environments encountered in most electronics
equipment. This type of equipment commonly uses
vertically mounted circuit cards in cabinet racks in which
the power modules are mounted.
The following figure shows the wind tunnel
characterization setup. The power module is mounted
on a test PWB and is vertically positioned within the
wind tunnel. The space between the neighboring PWB
and the top of the power module or a heat sink is
6.35mm (0.25”).
Thermal Derating
Heat can be removed by increasing airflow over the
module. Figure 13 and 14 show maximum output is a
function of ambient temperature and airflow rate. The
module’s maximum case temperature is +100°C. To
enhance system reliability, the power module should
always be operated below the maximum operating
temperature. If the temperature exceeds the maximum
module temperature, reliability of the unit may be
affected.
