GPFM115-15G datasheet by SL Power Electronics

GPFM115-15G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  SL Power Electronics recommends a PCB layout with a solid copper plane underneath the module, and a minimum of 2 oz copper thickness to ensure good thermal conductivity. Additionally, it's recommended to have a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance around the module to allow for airflow.
• Can I use this module in a high-vibration environment?
  Yes, the GPFM115-15G is designed to meet the requirements of IEC 60068-2-6 for vibration, which means it can withstand vibrations up to 10G peak acceleration. However, it's recommended to consult with SL Power Electronics for specific vibration testing and validation.
• How do I ensure electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with this module?
  To ensure EMC, SL Power Electronics recommends following the guidelines outlined in the datasheet, including using a metal enclosure, keeping the module away from sensitive components, and using EMI filters and shielding as necessary. Additionally, it's recommended to consult with SL Power Electronics for specific EMC testing and validation.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for this module?
  The GPFM115-15G has an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with a derating of 2.5% per degree above 60°C. However, it's recommended to consult with SL Power Electronics for specific temperature testing and validation.
• Can I use this module in a redundant or parallel configuration?
  Yes, the GPFM115-15G can be used in a redundant or parallel configuration, but it's recommended to consult with SL Power Electronics for specific guidance on implementation and validation.
