DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Safety Considerations
The power module must be installed in compliance with
the spacing and separation requirements of the
end-user's safety agency standard, i.e., UL60950,
CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-00 and EN60950: 2000 and
IEC60950-1999, if the system in which the power module
is to be used must meet safety agency requirements.
Basic insulation based on 75 Vdc input is provided
between the input and output of the module for the
purpose of applying insulation requirements when the
input to this DC-to-DC converter is identified as TNV-2 or
SELV. An additional evaluation is needed if the source
is other than TNV-2 or SELV.
When the input source is SELV circuit, 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 the ac
mains by reinforced or double insulation.
The input terminals of the module are not operator
accessible.
If the metal baseplate is grounded, one Vi pin and
one Vo pin shall also be grounded.
A SELV reliability test is conducted on the system
where the module is used, in combination with the
module, to ensure that under a single fault,
hazardous voltage does not appear at the module's
output.
When installed into a Class II equipment (without
grounding), spacing consideration should be given to the
end-use installation, as the spacing between the module
and mounting surface have not been evaluated.
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs
when all inputs are ELV.
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 5A 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.
