Description
The EHHD024A0A [HAMMERHEAD*] Series, eighth-brick, low-height power modules are isolated dc-dc converters which provide a
single, precisely regulated output voltage over an ultra-wide input voltage range of 18-75V
nominal output voltage rated for 24A
output current. The module incorporates GE’s vast heritage for reliability and quality, while
dc
also using the latest in technology, and component and process standardization to achieve highly competitive cost. The open
frame module construction, available in both surface-mount and through-hole packaging, enable designers to develop cost and
space efficient solutions. The module achieves typical full load efficiency greater than 91% at V
features include remote On/Off, remote sense, output voltage adjustment, overvoltage, overcurrent and overtemperature
protection. An optional heat plate allows for external standard, eighth-brick or quarter-brickheat sink attachment to achieve
higher output current in high temperature applications.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an integrated part
of sophisticated power architectures. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included, however, to achieve
maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a fast-acting fuse with a
maximum rating of 15 A (see Safety Considerations section). Based on the information provided in this data sheet on inrush energy
and maximum dc input current, the same type of fuse with a lower rating can be used. Refer to the fuse manufacturer’s data sheet
for further information.
Unless otherwise indicated, specifications apply over all operating input voltage, resistive load, and temperature conditions. See
Feature Descriptions for additional information.

Design Considerations
Input Filtering
The power module should be connected to a low
ac-impedance source. Highly inductive source impedance
can affect the stability of the power module. For the test
configuration in Figure 7 a 100μF electrolytic capacitor
(ESR<0.7Ω at 100kHz), mounted close to the power module
helps ensure the stability of the unit. Consult the factory for
further application guidelines.
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the
power module is used, the power module must be installed
in compliance with the spacing and separation
requirements of the end-use safety agency standard, i.e.
UL60950-1, CSA C22.2 No.60950-1, and VDE08051(IEC60950-1).
If the input source is non-SELV (ELV or a hazardous voltage
greater than 60 Vdc and less than or equal to 75Vdc), for the
module’s output to be considered as meeting the
requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV), all of the
following must be true:
The input source is to be provided with reinforced
insulation from any other hazardous voltages, including
the ac mains.
One V
The input pins of the module are not operator
Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole
Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module
The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when
all inputs are ELV.
All flammable materials used in the manufacturing of these
modules are rated 94V-0, or tested to the UL60950 A.2 for
reduced thickness.
For input voltages exceeding –60 Vdc but less than or equal
to –75 Vdc, these converters have been evaluated to the
applicable requirements of BASIC INSULATION between
secondary DC MAINS DISTRIBUTION input (classified as
TNV-2 in Europe) and unearthed SELV outputs.
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum

system (combination of supply source and subject

without grounding one of the output pins. This may
allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the
output pins and ground.
