Description
The SHHN000A3A HAMMERHEAD* series power modules are isolated dc-dc converters that designed to operate over a wide input
voltage range of 9 Vdc -36Vdc and provide a single precisely regulated output voltage at +15.0Vdc and -15.0Vdc. The outputs are
fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules exhibit a
minimum efficiency of 84.0% at full load and nominal input. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for
external filtering. The module is fully self-protected with output over-current and over-voltage, over-temperature and input under
voltage shutdown control. Optional features include negative or positive on/off logic and SMT connections.

Input Source Impedance
The power module shall 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 8, a 33μF electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.7Ω at 100kHz),
mounted close to the power module helps ensure the stability
of the unit
Safety Considerations
For safety-agency approval of the system in which the power
module is used, the power module shall be installed in
compliance with the spacing and separation requirements of
the end-use safety agency standard, i.e., UL 60950-1-3, CSA
C22.2 No. 60950-00, and VDE 0805 (IEC60950, 3
The input to these units is to be provided with a maximum 3A
fast-acting fuse in the ungrounded lead.
Two remote on/off options are available. Positive logic turns the
module on during a logic high voltage on the on/off pin, and off
during a logic low. Negative logic remote on/off, device code
suffix “1”, turns the module off during a logic high and on during
a logic low.

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 shall enter hiccup mode. The
unit shall operate normally once the output current is brought
back into its specified range. The average output current during
hiccup is 10% I
O, max
.
Overtemperature Protection
To provide protection under certain fault conditions, the unit is
equipped with a thermal shutdown circuit. The unit shall
shutdown if the thermal reference point Tref (Figure 13),
exceeds 110°C. The module shall automatically restart upon
cool-down to a safe temperature.
Input Undervoltage Lockout
At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, the
module operation shall be disabled. The module will only begin
to operate once the input voltage is raised above the
undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold, V
the module shall continue to operate until the input voltage is
taken below the undervoltage turn-off threshold, V
Over Voltage Protection
The output overvoltage protection shall consist of circuitry that
independently monitors the output voltage, and shuts the
module down if the output voltage exceeds specified limits. The
module shall contain hiccup restart capability.
The power modules shall operate in a variety of thermal
environments.
The thermal data shall be gathered based on physical
measurements taken in a wind tunnel, using automated
thermo-couple instrumentation to monitor key component
temperatures: FETs, diodes, control ICs, magnetic cores,
ceramic capacitors, opto-isolators, and module pwb
conductors, while controlling the ambient airflow rate and
temperature. For a given airflow and ambient temperature, the
module output power is increased, until one (or more) of the
components reaches its maximum derated operating
temperature, as defined in IPC-9592A. This procedure is then
repeated for a different airflow or ambient temperature until a
family of module output derating curves is obtained.
Figure 12. Thermal Test Setup .
The thermal reference point, T
used in the specifications shall
ref
be defined based on actual data. For reliable operation this
temperature should not exceed 110°C
Figure 13. T
Heat Transfer via Convection
Increased airflow over the module enhances the heat
transfer via convection. Derating curves showing the
maximum output current that can be delivered by
each module versus local ambient temperature (T
for natural convection are shown in Figures 14 - 15.
Please refer to the Application Note “Thermal Characterization
Process For Open-Frame Board-Mounted Power Modules” for a

The SHHN000A3 power module series are low profile in order
to be used in fine pitch system card architectures. As such,
component clearance between the bottom of the power
module and the mounting board is limited. Avoid placing
copper areas on the outer layer directly underneath the power
module. Also avoid placing via interconnects underneath the
power module.
The SHHN000A3 family of power modules is available for
either Through-Hole (TH) or Surface Mount (SMT) soldering.
Through-Hole Soldering Information
The RoHS-compliant (Z codes) through-hole products use the
SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
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 Pbfree wave soldering processes. A maximum preheat rate of
3°C/s is suggested. The wave preheat process should be such
that the temperature of the power module board is kept below
210°C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is
260°C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270°C max. The Through
Hole module is also compatible with paste-in-hole reflow
soldering. Refer to the Reflow Soldering Information section for
process details. If additional information is needed, please
consult with your GE representative for more details.
Surface Mount Information
Pick and Place
The SHHN-SR series of DC-to-DC power converters use an
open-frame construction and are designed for surface mount
assembly within a fully automated manufacturing process.
The SHHN-SR series modules are designed to use the main
magnetic component surface to allow for pick and place.

Z Plane Height
The ‘Z’ plane height of the pick and place location is 7.50mm
nominal with an RSS tolerance of +/-0.25 mm.
Nozzle Recommendations
The module weight has been kept to a minimum by using open
frame construction. Even so, they have a relatively large mass
when compared with 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 5mm. The maximum nozzle outer diameter, which
will safely fit within the allowable component spacing, is
6.5mm.
Oblong or oval nozzles up to 11 x 6 mm may also be used
within the space available.
For further information please contact your local GE Technical
Sales Representative.
Reflow Soldering Information
These power modules are large mass, low thermal
resistance devices and typically heat up slower than other
SMT components. 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 SMT
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.
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. The
recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Pb solder is
shown in Figure 19 and 20. For reliable soldering the solder
reflow profile should be established by accurately
measuring the module’s pin connector temperatures.

Figure 20. Recommended Reflow Profile for Sn/Pb solder.
The –Z version SMT modules of the SHHN000A3 series are
lead-free (Pb-free) and RoHS compliant and are compatible in
a
Pb-free soldering process. Failure to observe the instructions
below may result in the failure of or cause damage to the
modules and can adversely affect long-term reliability.
Pb-free Reflow Profile
Power Systems will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. D
(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 forcedair-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 22.

MSL Rating
The SHHN000A3 series SMT modules have a MSL rating of 2a.
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 GE Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning Application Note
(AP01-056EPS).
