A good PCB layout for FC-102 involves keeping the input and output traces separate, using a solid ground plane, and minimizing the loop area of the input and output circuits to reduce EMI.
Ensure good airflow around the device, avoid blocking the airflow vents, and consider using a heat sink or thermal interface material if the device will be operating in a high-temperature environment.
The maximum allowable voltage drop across the FC-102 is 1.5V. Exceeding this voltage drop may affect the device's performance and reliability.
Yes, the FC-102 is designed for high-reliability applications and meets various safety standards, including UL, cUL, and TÜV. However, it's essential to follow Bel Fuse's guidelines and recommendations for use in safety-critical applications.
Start by checking the input voltage, output voltage, and current. Verify that the device is properly soldered and that there are no signs of physical damage. Consult the datasheet and application notes for troubleshooting guides and contact Bel Fuse's technical support if needed.
