BPM15-120-Q12-C datasheet by Murata Power Solutions

BPM15-120-Q12-C Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  Murata recommends a PCB layout with a solid copper plane underneath the module, with multiple vias to the inner layers for heat dissipation. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the BPM15-120-Q12-C is designed to withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration, but it's recommended to follow Murata's guidelines for mounting and securing the module to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with this module?
  Murata recommends following their EMC guidelines, which include using a shielded enclosure, keeping the module away from sensitive components, and using EMI filters on the input and output lines.
• What is the maximum allowable input voltage deviation?
  The BPM15-120-Q12-C can tolerate input voltage deviations of up to ±10% of the nominal input voltage without affecting performance or reliability.
• Can I use this module in a high-altitude application?
  Yes, the BPM15-120-Q12-C is designed to operate up to 5,000 meters (16,400 feet) above sea level, but derating may be required for higher altitudes.
