Description
The LUW025-Series Power Modules are low-profile, open-frame dc-dc converters that operate over an input
voltage range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated output. The output is isolated from the
input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules feature remote on/off
and a wide range of output voltage adjustments. Built-in filtering for both input and output minimizes the need
for external filtering.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are abso-
lute stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess
of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended
periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Fusing Considerations
CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This encapsulated power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple stand-alone
operation to an integrated part of a sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fus-
ing is not included; however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The
safety agencies require a normal-blow fuse with a maximum rating of 5 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 for further information.

Solder Ball and Cleanliness Requirements
The open frame (no case or potting) power module will meet the solder ball requirements per J-STD-001B. These
requirements state that solder balls must neither be loose nor violate the power module minimum electrical spacing.
The cleanliness designator of the open frame power module is C00 (per J specification).
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 circuit-board 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 the
Board-Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and Cleaning
Application Note
(AP97-021EPS).
