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 time-delay fuse with a
maximum rating of 8 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.

rapid cycling of Vin from normal levels to less than the Input Undervoltage Lockout (which causes module shutdown), and then back to normal; or 2) toggling the
on/off signal from on to off and back to on without removing the input voltage. The normal Turn-On Delay interval, Tdelay, will occur whenever a module restarts with
input voltage removed from the module for the preceding 1 second.
2. Maximum trim up possible only for Vin>40V.

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 33-100μF
electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.1 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 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., UL 60950-1-3, CSA C22.2 No. 60950-00, and VDE
0805:2001-12 (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 8 A time-delay fuse in the ungrounded lead.

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.

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 1.0V. The maximum Ion/off
during a logic low is 1mA, the switch should be 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).

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 point (Figure
13), exceeds Tref1 = 133 OC or Tref2 = 140OC (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. 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.

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

point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance
should be ±1.0%.

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)
Heat-dissipating components are mounted on the top side
The thermal reference points, Tref1 and Tref2 used in the

For reliable operation Tref1 should not exceed 128oC, and Tref2
should not exceed 123oC .

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 the open
frame module versus local ambient temperature (TA) for natural
convection and up to 1.5m/s (300 ft./min) forced airflow are

Through-Hole Soldering Information
The RoHS-compliant (Z codes) through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant components.
The RoHS-compliant with lead solder exemption (non-Z codes)
through-hole products use Sn/Pb solder and RoHS-compliant
components. Both non-Z and Z codes are designed to be
processed through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an 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 RoHS-
compliant 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 GE representative for more details.
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).
