COPPER STR IP V O (+) RESISTIVE LOAD SCOPE V O (- ) 1uF 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 33-100F electrolytic capacitor (ESR<0.7 at 100kHz), mounted close to the power module helps ensure the stability of the unit. Consult the factory for further application guidelines. 10uF 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: GROUND PLANE NOTE: All voltage measurements to be taken at the module terminals, as shown above.

IIN Note: Do not ground either of the input pins of the module without grounding one of the output pins. This may allow a non-SELV voltage to appear between the output pins and ground. The power module has extra-low voltage (ELV) outputs when all inputs are ELV. NOTE: All voltage measurements to be taken at the module terminals, as shown above. If sockets are used then Kelvin connections are required at the module terminals to avoid measurement errors due to socket contact resistance. Efficiency The input source is to be provided with reinforced insulation from any other hazardous voltages, including the ac mains. One VIN pin and one VOUT pin are to be grounded, or both the input and output pins are to be kept floating. The input pins of the module are not operator accessible. Another SELV reliability test is conducted on the whole system (combination of supply source and subject module), as required by the safety agencies, to verify that under a single fault, hazardous voltages do not appear at the module's output. x 100 % 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.

Page 6 GE Data Sheet EHHD015A0A Hammerhead Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 18-75Vdc Input; 5Vdc, 15.0A, 75W Output Feature Descriptions Remote On/Off 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. Vin+ 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 = Vo,set x Io,max). Vout+ SENSE(+) SENSE(-) Ion/off ON/OFF TRIM SUPPLY II VI(+) VO(+) VI(-) VO(-) CONTACT RESISTANCE Von/off Vout- Vin- Figure 10. Remote On/Off Implementation. To turn the power module on and off, the user must supply a switch (open collector or equivalent) to control the voltage (Von/off) between the ON/OFF terminal and the VIN(-) terminal (see Figure 10). Logic low is 0V Von/off 1.2V. The maximum Ion/off during a logic low is 1mA; the switch should maintain a logic low level whilst sinking this current. During a logic high, the typical maximum Von/off generated by the module is 5V, and the maximum allowable leakage current at Von/off = 5V is 1A. 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 VIN(-). 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: [VO(+) - VO(-)] - [SENSE(+) - SENSE(-)] 0.5 V 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. IO LOAD CONTACT AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSE Figure 11. Circuit Configuration for remote sense . Input Undervoltage Lockout At input voltages below the input undervoltage lockout limit, the module operation is disabled. The module will only begin to operate once the input voltage is raised above the undervoltage lockout turn-on threshold, VUV/ON. Once operating, the module will continue to operate until the input voltage is taken below the undervoltage turn-off threshold, VUV/OFF. 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, exceeds 135 OC (Figure 13, typical) or 120 OC (Figure 14, typical), but the thermal shutdown is not intended as a guarantee that the unit will survive temperatures beyond its rating. 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 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. October 29, 2019 (c)2012 General Electric Company.

Page 7 GE Data Sheet EHHD015A0A Hammerhead Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 18-75Vdc Input; 5Vdc, 15.0A, 75W Output Feature Descriptions (continued) 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 hiccup is 10% IO, max. Output Voltage Programming Trimming allows the output voltage set point to be increased or decreased from the default value; this is accomplished by connecting an external resistor between the TRIM pin and either the VO(+) pin or the VO(-) pin. VIN(+) VO(+) Rtrim-up ON/OFF LOAD VOTRIM Rtrim-down VIN(-) VO(-) Figure 12. Circuit Configuration to Trim Output Voltage. Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-down) between the TRIM pin and the VO(-) (or Sense(-)) pin decreases the output voltage set point. To maintain set point accuracy, the trim resistor tolerance should be 1.0%. The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of % 511 Rtrim down 10 .22 % Where % 5 . 0V V desired 100 5 . 0V For example, to trim-down the output voltage of the module by 6% to 4.7V, Rtrim-down is calculated as follows: % 6 511 Rtrim down 10 .22 6 R trim down 74 . 9 Connecting an external resistor (Rtrim-up) between the TRIM pin and the VO(+) (or Sense (+)) pin increases the output voltage set point. The following equation determines the required external resistor value to obtain a percentage output voltage change of %: For example, to trim-up the output voltage of the module by 4% to 5.2V, Rtrim-up is calculated is as follows: % 4 5 .11 5 .0 (100 4 ) 511 10 .22 R trim up 1 .225 4 4 Rtrim up 404.3 The voltage between the VO(+) and VO(-) terminals 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 set-point 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 = VO,set x IO,max). 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, 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-9592. This procedure is then repeated for a different airflow or ambient temperature until a family of module output derating curves is obtained. 5.11 5.0 (100 %) 511 R trim up 10 .22 1.225 % % Where % V desired 5 . 0 100 5 .0 October 29, 2019 (c)2012 General Electric Company.

Page 10 GE Data Sheet EHHD015A0A Hammerhead Series; DC-DC Converter Power Modules 18-75Vdc Input; 5Vdc, 15.0A, 75W Output Through-Hole Soldering Information Tin Lead Soldering Lead-Free Soldering The EHHD015A0A 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. The EHHD015A0Axx RoHS-compliant through-hole products use 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 a RoHS-compliant finish that is compatible with both Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A maximum preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The wave preheat process should be such that the temperature of the power module board is kept below 210C. For Pb solder, the recommended pot temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free solder pot is 270C max. Paste-in-Hole Soldering The EHHD015A0Axx module is compatible with reflow paste-in-hole soldering processes shown in Figures 25-27. Since the EHHD015A0AxxZ module is not packaged per JSTD-033 Rev.A, the module must be baked prior to the paste-in-hole reflow process. EHHD015A0Axx-HZ modules are not compatible with paste-in-hole reflow soldering. Please contact your ABB Sales Representative for further information. Pick and Place In a conventional Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) solder process peak reflow temperatures are limited to less than 235oC. Typically, the eutectic solder melts at 183oC, wets the land, and subsequently wicks the device connection. Sufficient time must be allowed to fuse the plating on the connection to ensure a reliablesolder joint. There are several types of SMT reflow technologies currently used in the industry. These power modules can be reliably soldered using natural forced convection, IR (radiant infrared), or a combination of convection/IR. For reliable soldering the solder reflow profile should be established by accurately measuring the modules CP connector temperatures. Lead Free Soldering The EHHD015A0A 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 300oC. The label also carries product information such as product code, serial number and the location of manufacture. The -Z version of the EHHD015A0A modules are lead-free (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 long-term reliability. 300 P eak Temp 235oC REFLOW TEMP (C) 250 200 Heat zo ne max 4oCs -1 150 100 50 Figure 24.

Reflow Profile for Tin/Lead (Sn/Pb) process. 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.

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 (AN04-001).
