15333C datasheet by Murata Power Solutions

15333C Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  Murata recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to ensure optimal thermal performance. Additionally, keeping the component away from heat sources and using thermal vias can help reduce thermal resistance.
• How do I ensure reliable soldering of the 15333C?
  To ensure reliable soldering, use a soldering iron with a temperature range of 250°C to 260°C, and apply a small amount of solder paste to the pads. Avoid using excessive solder or flux, as this can lead to poor joint reliability.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage derating for the 15333C?
  Murata recommends derating the input voltage by 10% to ensure reliable operation and to prevent damage to the component. For example, if the maximum rated input voltage is 12V, the maximum allowable voltage derating would be 10.8V.
• Can I use the 15333C in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the 15333C is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, making it suitable for use in high-vibration environments. However, it's essential to ensure proper PCB mounting and secure the component to prevent mechanical stress.
• How do I troubleshoot common issues with the 15333C, such as output voltage droop or overheating?
  To troubleshoot common issues, start by verifying the input voltage, output load, and ambient temperature. Check for proper PCB layout, soldering, and component orientation. Use a thermal camera or thermometer to monitor temperature, and consult Murata's application notes and technical support resources for guidance.
