SS74800-038F datasheet by Bel Fuse

SS74800-038F Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  Bel Fuse recommends a PCB layout with a solid ground plane and a thermal pad connected to a heat sink to ensure optimal thermal management. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended for the PCB.
• How does the device handle overcurrent and overvoltage protection?
  The SS74800-038F has built-in overcurrent protection (OCP) and overvoltage protection (OVP) features. The OCP limits the output current to 120% of the rated current, and the OVP shuts down the device if the input voltage exceeds 18V.
• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the device?
  The SS74800-038F can operate in a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, with a derated output current above 60°C.
• Can the device be used in a high-reliability or military application?
  Yes, the SS74800-038F is designed to meet the requirements of high-reliability and military applications, with a screened version available for these markets.
• What is the typical efficiency of the device?
  The typical efficiency of the SS74800-038F is around 92% at full load, with a minimum efficiency of 90% over the entire operating range.
