CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. 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 15
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. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data sheet for further information.

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. Highly inductive source impedance can
affect the stability of the power module. For the test
configuration in Figure 7 a 100μF electrolytic capacitor
(ESR<0.7 at 100kHz), mounted close to the power module
helps ensure the stability of the unit. Consult the factory for
further application guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety agency approval the power module must be
installed in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standards, i.e., UL
ANSI/UL* 62368-1 and CAN/CSA+ C22.2 No. 62368-1
Recognized, DIN VDE 0868-1/A11:2017 (EN62368-
1:2014/A11:2017)
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous voltage
greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to 75Vdc), for the
module’s output to be considered as meeting the
requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV) or ES1, all of
the following must be true:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, including
the ac mains.
One VIN pin and one VOUT pin are to be grounded, or both
the input and output pins are to be kept floating.
The input pins of the module are not operator accessible.
Another SELV or ES1 reliability test is conducted on the
whole system (combination of supply source and subject
module), as required by the safety agencies, to verify
that under a single fault, hazardous voltages do not
appear at the module’s output.
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module
without grounding one of the output pins. This may
allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the
output pins and ground.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when
all inputs are ELV.
All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of these
modules are rated 94V-0, or tested to the UL60950 A.2 for
reduced thickness.
For input voltages exceeding 60 Vdc but less than or equal to
75 Vdc, these converters have been evaluated to the
applicable requirements of BASIC INSULATION between
secondary DC MAINS DISTRIBUTION input (classified as TNV-2
in Europe) and unearthed SELV or ES1 outputs.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 15
A fast-acting fuse in the ungrounded lead.

Feature Descriptions
Remote On/Off
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic turns
the module on during a logic high voltage on the ON/OFF pin,
and off during a logic low. Negative logic remote On/Off,
device code suffix “1”, turns the module off during a logic high
and on during a logic low.

Figure 10. Remote On/Off Implementation.
To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a
switch (open collector or equivalent) to control the voltage
(Von/off) between the ON/OFF terminal and the VIN(-) terminal
(see Figure 10). Logic low is 0V Von/off 0.6V. The maximum
Ion/off during a logic low is 0.15mA; the switch should maintain
a logic low level whilst sinking this current.
During a logic high, the typical maximum Von/off generated by
the module is 5V, and the maximum allowable leakage current
at Von/off = 5V is 1μA.
If not using the remote on/off feature:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to VIN(-).
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution losses by
regulating the voltage at the remote-sense connections (See
Figure 11). The voltage between the remote-sense pins and
the output terminals must not exceed the output voltage
sense range given in the Feature Specifications table:
[VO(+) VO()] [SENSE(+) SENSE()] 0.5 V
Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the
output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase
is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim.
The amount of power delivered by the module is defined as
the voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output
current. When using remote sense and trim, the output
voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same
output current would increase the power output of the
module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = Vo,set x
Io,max).
Figure 11. Circuit Configuration for remote sense .
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit,
the module operation is disabled. The module will only begin
to operate once the input voltage is raised above the
undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold, VUV/ON.
Once operating, the module will continue to operate until the
input voltage is taken below the undervoltage turn-off
threshold, VUV/OFF.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection under certain fault conditions, the unit
is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit will
shutdown if the thermal reference points, Tref, exceed135 OC
(Figure 13, typical) or 120 OC(Figure 14, typical) respectively,
but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that
the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The
module will automatically restart upon cool-down to a safe
temperature.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output over voltage protection scheme of the modules
has an independent over voltage loop to prevent single point
of failure. This protection feature latches in the event of over
voltage across the output. Cycling the on/off pin or input
voltage resets the latching protection feature. If the auto-
restart option (4) is ordered, the module will automatically
restart upon an internally programmed time elapsing.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload) condition, the
unit is equipped with internal current-limiting circuitry and can
endure current limiting continuously. At the point of
current-limit inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. If the unit
is not configured with autorestart, then it will latch off
following the over current condition. The module can be
restarted by cycling the dc input power for at least one second
or by toggling the remote on/off signal for at least one second.
Feature Descriptions (continued)
If the unit is configured with the auto-restart option (4), it will
remain in the hiccup mode as long as the overcurrent
condition exists; it operates normally, once the output current

is brought back into its specified range. The average output
current during hiccup is 10% IO, max.
Output Voltage Programming
Trimming allows the output voltage set point to be increased
or decreased from the default value; this is accomplished by
connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and
either the VO(+) pin or the VO(-) pin.

Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the TRIM

voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim

The voltage between the VO(+) and VO() terminals must not
exceed the minimum output overvoltage protection value
shown in the Feature Specifications table. This limit includes
any increase in voltage due to remote-sense compensation
and output voltage set-point adjustment trim.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both the
remote sense and by the trim, the maximum increase for the
output voltage is not the sum of both. The maximum increase
is the larger of either the remote sense or the trim. The
amount of power delivered by the module is defined as the
voltage at the output terminals multiplied by the output
current. When using remote sense and trim, the output
voltage of the module can be increased, which at the same
output current would increase the power output of the
module. Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = VO,set x
IO,max).
Thermal Considerations
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be provided
to help ensure reliable operation.
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, using automated
thermo-couple instrumentation to monitor key component
temperatures: FETs, diodes, control ICs, magnetic cores,
ceramic capacitors, opto-isolators, and module pwb
conductors, while controlling the ambient airflow rate and
temperature. For a given airflow and ambient temperature,
the module output power is increased, until one (or more) of
the components reaches its maximum derated operating
temperature, as defined in IPC-9592. This procedure is then
repeated for a different airflow or ambient temperature until
a family of module output derating curves is obtained.

Thermal Considerations (continued)
The thermal reference points, Tref1, and Tref2 used in the
specifications for open frame modules are shown in Figure 13.
For reliable operation these temperatures should not exceed
124 OC & 121 OC respectively
Figure 13. Tref Temperature Measurement Locations for
Open Frame Module.
The thermal reference point, Tref, used in the specifications for
modules with heatplate is shown in Figure 14. For reliable
operation this temperature should not exceed 98OC.
Figure 14. Tref Temperature Measurement Location for
Module with Heatplate.
Heat Transfer via Convection
Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Derating curves showing the
maximum output current that can be delivered by
each module versus local ambient temperature (TA)
for natural convection and up to 3m/s (600 ft./min) forced
airflow are shown in Figures 15 - 20.

Heat Transfer via Conduction
The module can also be used in a sealed environment with
cooling via conduction from the
module’s top surface through a gap pad material to a
cold wall, as shown in Figure 21. This capability is achieved by
insuring the top side component skyline profile achieves no
more than 1mm height difference between the tallest and the
shortest power train part that benefits from contact with the
gap pad material. The output current derating versus cold
wall temperature, when using a gap pad such as Bergquist
GP2500S20, is shown in Figure 22.

Through-Hole Soldering Information
Lead-Free Soldering
The EHHD010A0B xx RoHS-compliant through-hole products
use SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. They are designed to be processed through
single or dual wave soldering machines. The pins have a
RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible with both Pb and Pb-
free wave soldering processes. A maximum preheat rate of
3C/s is suggested. The wave preheat process should be such
that the temperature of the power module board is kept
below 210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot
temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C
max.
Paste-in-Hole Soldering
The EHHD010A0B xx module is compatible with reflow paste-
in-hole soldering processes shown in Figures 24-26. Since the
EHHD010A0B xxZ module is not packaged per J-STD-033
Rev.A, the module must be baked prior to the paste-in-hole
reflow process. Please contact your ABB Sales Representative
for further information.
Pick and Place
The EHHD010A0B modules use an open frame construction
and are designed for a fully automated assembly process. The
modules are fitted with a label designed to provide a large
surface area for pick and place operations. The label meets all
the requirements for surface mount processing, as well as
safety standards, and is able to withstand reflow
temperatures of up to 300oC. The label also carries product
information such as product code, serial number and the
location of manufacture.
Figure 23. 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 placement speed should be considered to
optimize this process. The minimum recommended nozzle
diameter for reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle
outer diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable
component spacing, is 9 mm.
Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 9 mm may also be used
within the space available.
Tin Lead Soldering
The EHHD010A0B 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 reflow
temperatures are limited to less than 235°C. 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 reflow technologies
currently used in the industry. These power modules can be
reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant
infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For reliable
soldering, the solder reflow profile should be established by
accurately measuring the modules connector temperatures.
Lead Free Soldering
The Z version of the EHHD010A0B modules are lead-free (Pb-
free) and RoHS compliant and are both forward and backward
compatible in a Pb-free and a SnPb soldering process. Failure
to observe the instructions below may result in the failure of
or cause damage to the modules and can adversely affect
long-term reliability.

Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power systems will comply with J-STD-015 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for Nonhermetic
Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both Pb-free solder
profiles and applicable MSL classification procedures. This
standard provides a recommended forced-air-convection
reflow profile based on the volume and thickness of the
package (table 4-2). The suggested Pb-free solder paste is
Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The recommended linear reflow profile using
Sn/Ag/Cu solder is shown in Figure 26.

Sn/Ag/Cu solder.
Post Solder Cleaning and Drying Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit board assembly
process prior to electrical board testing. The result of
inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both the reliability
of a power module and the testability of the finished circuit
board assembly. For guidance on appropriate soldering,
cleaning and drying procedures, refer to GE Board
Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application
Note (AN04-001).
