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 6 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.

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 33-100μF
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
VDE0805-1(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.

 The input pins of the module are not operator
 Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the

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

If not using the remote on/off feature:
For positive logic, leave the ON/OFF pin open.
For negative logic, short the ON/OFF pin to V
Remote Sense
Remote sense minimizes the effects of distribution
losses by regulating the voltage at the remote-sense
connections (See Figure 11). The voltage between the
remote-sense pins and the output terminals must not
exceed the output voltage sense range given in the
Feature Specifications table:
[V
(+) – VO(–)] – [SENSE(+) – SENSE(–)] ≤ 0.5 V
O
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim.
The amount of power delivered by the module is
defined as the voltage at the output terminals multiplied
by the output current. When using remote sense and
trim, the output voltage of the module can be

Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection under certain fault conditions, the
unit is equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The
unit will shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref
(Figure 13), exceeds 130
o
C (typical), but the thermal
shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit
will survive temperatures beyond its rating. The
module can be restarted by cycling the dc input power
for at least one second or by toggling the remote on/off
signal for at least one second. If the auto-restart option
(4) is ordered, the module will automatically restart
upon cool-down to a safe temperature.
Output Overvoltage Protection
The output over voltage protection scheme of the
modules has an independent over voltage loop to
prevent single point of failure. This protection feature
latches in the event of over voltage across the output.
Cycling the on/off pin or input voltage resets the
latching protection feature. If the auto-restart option (4)
is ordered, the module will automatically restart upon
an internally programmed time elapsing.
Overcurrent Protection
To provide protection in a fault (output overload)
condition, the unit is equipped with internal
current-limiting circuitry and can endure current
limiting continuously. At the point of current-limit
inception, the unit enters hiccup mode. If the unit is
not configured with auto–restart, then it will latch off
following the over current condition. The module can be

one second or by toggling the remote on/off signal for
at least one second. If the unit is configured with the
auto-restart option (4), it will remain in the hiccup mode
as long as the overcurrent condition exists; it operates
normally, once the output current is brought back into
its specified range. The average output current during

must not exceed the minimum output overvoltage
protection value shown in the Feature Specifications
table. This limit includes any increase in voltage due to
remote-sense compensation and output voltage setpoint adjustment trim.
Although the output voltage can be increased by both
the remote sense and by the trim, the maximum
increase for the output voltage is not the sum of both.
The maximum increase is the larger of either the
remote sense or the trim. The amount of power
delivered by the module is defined as the voltage at the
output terminals multiplied by the output current. When
using remote sense and trim, the output voltage of the
module can be increased, which at the same output
current would increase the power output of the module.
Care should be taken to ensure that the maximum
output power of the module remains at or below the
maximum rated power (Maximum rated power = V

Thermal Considerations
The power modules operate in a variety of thermal
environments; however, sufficient cooling should be
provided to help ensure reliable operation.
Considerations include ambient temperature, airflow,
module power dissipation, and the need for increased
reliability. A reduction in the operating temperature of
the module will result in an increase in reliability. The
thermal data presented here is based on physical
measurements taken in a wind tunnel.
The thermal reference point, T
specifications for open frame modules is shown in
Figure 13. For reliable operation this temperature
should not exceed 117
o
C.
The thermal reference point, T
specifications for modules with heatplate is shown in
Figure 14. For reliable operation this temperature
should not exceed 105

C.

Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The EHW015A0A-S modules use an open frame
construction and are designed for a fully automated
assembly process. The modules are fitted with a label
designed to provide a large surface area for pick and
place operations. The label meets all the requirements
for surface mount processing, as well as safety
standards, and is able to withstand reflow temperatures
of up to 300
information such as product code, serial number and
the location of manufacture.
Figure 23. Pick and Place Location.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by
using open frame construction. Even so, these
modules have a relatively large mass when compared
to conventional SMT components. Variables such as
nozzle size, tip style, vacuum pressure and placement
speed should be considered to optimize this process.
The minimum recommended nozzle diameter for
reliable operation is 6mm. The maximum nozzle outer
diameter, which will safely fit within the allowable
component spacing, is 9 mm.
Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 9 mm may also be
used within the space available.
The surface mountable modules in the EHW family use
our newest SMT technology called “Column Pin” (CP)
connectors. Figure 24 shows the new CP connector
before and after reflow soldering onto the end-board
assembly.

Surface Mount Information (continued)
The CP is constructed from a solid copper pin with an
integral solder ball attached, which is composed of
tin/lead (Sn/Pb) solder for non-Z codes, or Sn/Ag/Cu
(SAC) solder for –Z codes. The CP connector design is
able to compensate for large amounts of co-planarity
and still ensure a reliable SMT solder joint. Typically,

o
C (SAC solder), wets the land, and
o
C (Sn/Pb solder) or
subsequently wicks the device connection. Sufficient
time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the
connection to ensure a reliable solder joint. There are
several types of SMT reflow technologies currently
used in the industry. These surface mount power
modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced
convection, IR (radiant infrared), or a combination of
convection/IR.
Tin Lead Soldering
The EHW015A0A power modules are lead free
modules and can be soldered either in a lead-free
solder process or in a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb)
process. It is recommended that the customer review
data sheets in order to customize the solder reflow
profile for each application board assembly. The
following instructions must be observed when soldering
these units. Failure to observe these instructions may
result in the failure of or cause damage to the modules,
and can adversely affect long-term reliability.
In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak
reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235

Lead Free Soldering
The –Z version of the EHW015A0A modules are leadfree (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are both
forward and backward compatible in a Pb-free and a
SnPb soldering process. Failure to observe the
instructions below may result in the failure of or cause
damage to the modules and can adversely affect longterm reliability.
Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for
Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for
both Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification
procedures. This standard provides a recommended
forced-air-convection reflow profile based on the
volume and thickness of the package (table 4-2). The
suggested Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC).
The recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu
solder is shown in Figure 27.
MSL Rating
The EHW015A0A modules have a MSL rating of 2.
Storage and Handling
The recommended storage environment and handling
procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount
packages is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling,
Packing, Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow
Sensitive Surface Mount Devices). Moisture barrier
bags (MBB) with desiccant are required for MSL ratings
of 2 or greater. These sealed packages should not be
broken until time of use. Once the original package is

broken, the floor life of the product at conditions of ≤
30°C and 60% relative humidity varies according to the
MSL rating (see J-STD-033A). The shelf life for dry
packed SMT packages will be a minimum of 12 months
from the bag seal date, when stored at the following
conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative humidity.
Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The
result of inadequate cleaning and drying can affect both
the reliability of a power module and the testability of
the finished circuit-board assembly. For guidance on
appropriate soldering, cleaning and drying procedures,
refer to Lineage Power Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note (AN04-001).

components. They are designed to be processed
through single or dual wave soldering machines. The
pins have an RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible
with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A
