IO Efficiency = VIN. IIN x 100 % 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 6 a 33-100F 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. For safety-agency approval of the system in which the power module is used, the power module must be installed in compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of the end-use safety agency standard, i.e. UL60950-1, CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, and VDE08051(IEC60950-1). 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), 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 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 outputs. The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 10 A fast-acting fuse in the ungrounded lead. October 30, 2019 (c)2016 General Electric Company. All rights reserved. Page 6 GE Data Sheet ESTW004A2C Stingray Series DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 15.0Vdc/4.2Adc Output Feature Description 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. Negative logic is the preferred option. 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). SENSE(+) SENSE(-) SUPPLY Vin+ Vout+ II VI(+) VO(+) VI(-) VO(-) CONTACT RESISTANCE IO LOAD CONTACT AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSE Figure 10. Circuit Configuration for remote sense . Ion/off ON/OFF TRIM Von/off Vin- Vout- Figure 9. 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 9). Logic low is 0.7Vdc Von/off 0.6Vdc. The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 0.15mA; the switch should maintain a logic low level while sinking this current. During a logic high, the typical maximum Von/off generated by the module is 6.7Vdc, and the maximum allowable leakage current is 25A. 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 October 30, 2019 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 turnoff 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 point, Tref1 exceeds 135oC (Figure 12, typical), or Tref2 exceeds 120oC (Figure 13, typical), 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 auto-restart, 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. (c)2016 General Electric Company.

Page 7 GE Data Sheet ESTW004A2C Stingray Series DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 15.0Vdc/4.2Adc Output 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, this is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and either the VO(+) pin or the VO(-) pin. VIN(+) VO(+) Rtrim-up ON/OFF LOAD VOTRIM Rtrim-down VIN(-) VO(-) Figure 11. Circuit Configuration to Trim Output Voltage. Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the TRIM pin and the VO(-) (or Sense(-)) pin decreases the output voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance should be 1.0%. IO, max should not be exceeded even trimming to a lower output voltage. Output Current Limit Inception is independent of trimmed Vout. The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of % 511 R trim down 10 . 22 % Where % Vo , set V desired Vo , set 100 For example, to trim-down the output voltage of the module by 8% to 13.8V, Rtrim-down is calculated as follows: % 8 5.11 Vo , set (100 %) 511 10.22 Rtrim up 1 . 225 % % Where % V desired Vo , set Vo , set For example, to trim-up the output voltage of the module by 5% to 15.75V, Rtrim-up is calculated is as follows: % 5 5 .11 15 .0 (100 5 ) 511 Rtrim up 10 .22 1 .225 5 5 Rtrim up 1 .20 M 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. The thermal reference point, Tref1, used in the specifications for open frame modules is shown in Figure 12. For reliable operation this temperature should not exceed 130oC. 511 10.22 Rtrim down 8 R trim down AIRFLOW 53 . 655 Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-up) between the TRIM pin and the VO(+) (or Sense (+)) pin increases the output voltage set point.

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 16. 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.

Page 9 GE Data Sheet ESTW004A2C Stingray Series DC-DC Converter Power Modules 36-75Vdc Input; 15.0Vdc/4.2Adc Output Through-Hole Lead-Free Soldering Information The RoHS-compliant through-hole products use the 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. Not all RoHScompliant through-hole products can be processed with paste-through-hole Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information is needed, please consult with your ABB representative for more details. Pick and Place The ESTW004A2C 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. 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 235oC. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC, 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 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 CP connector temperatures. Lead Free Soldering The -Z version of the ESTW004A2C modules are leadfree (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. 300 P eak Temp 235oC REFLOW TEMP (C) 250 Figure 18.
