Interface Adaptor Boards ® Application Note Summary ® SynQor has developed Interface Adaptor Boards as an alternative for customers that prefer to connect our DC-DC converters and filter modules with wire instead of mounting directly to a printed circuit board. These adaptor boards are soldered to the converter and can be connected to the system via terminal lugs for power and screw terminals for external signals. SMT and thru-hole footprints are included for input/ output capacitors and trim resistors. Introduction SynQor has developed an alternative connection method for customers who don’t want to mount the converter to a printed circuit board (PCB). This eases the design effort for mounting converters to cold-plates, sides of enclosures, custom mechanical designs as well as making the converters more easily field replaceable. Interface Adaptor Board SynQor’s converters and filters are designed with Input/Output (I/O) pins which normally mount directly into and then soldered to an application PCB, connecting to the relevant circuitry through copper traces and planes within the PCB. The Interface Adaptors allow discrete wires to be connected to all of the I/O pins and enable alternative location and physical mounting of the converters to suit the end user’s needs. The Interface Adaptor Board is soldered to the SynQor unit, either by the equipment manufacturer or by SynQor. M4 posts are provided at both the input and the output of the unit to handle the associated input and output currents. Screw terminals provide connection to the signal level pins (Enable, Trim, Sense, etc.). The unit is intended to be mounted by securing its baseplate to a structural element that provides adequate heat removal for the required line and load operating conditions along with the required structural integrity. Consult the relevant product datasheet for temperature limitations and dissipated power level. Input and output wires should be secured to the adaptor’s terminal posts using the M4 nuts, washers and lock washers provided. The user must determine the appropriate wire gauge to suit their application. Input and output power wires should be terminated with M4 or #8 ring terminals, attached to the wire per the manufacturer’s recommended procedures, to provide simple and reliable attachment to the terminal posts. The screw terminals for the signal connections can range from AWG16 to AWG30. Lighter wire gauges are appropriate given that these wires will carry low current. SynQor recommends that the signal wires be finished with solder or crimped ferrules for a secure and reliable connection to the screw terminals, and that appropriate levels of torque be applied to lock the wires down. Consult Molex datasheets for the Series 39880 screw terminals for details. SynQor’s datasheets provide details of the environmental specifications that each unit has been tested to. The user should note that actual results (e.g. Shock and Vibration) for a unit mounted to an Interface Adaptor may differ from that stated for the unit by itself and therefore give due consideration to the mounting method and structure to which the converter is located. Furthermore, the Interface Adaptor boards also have locations for mounting components to assist in filtering, isolation and control of the SynQor unit. Through hole connections are provided for soldering the components to the Interface Adaptors.

DC-DC modules will have a different design than filter modules of the same size. Due to the thickness of the Interface Adaptor PCB it is recommended that pin lengths 0.250” (Y) and 0.180” (R) are selected when ordering converters and filters. Pin lengths 0.145” (N) and 0.110” (K) are not recommended for mounting to an Interface Adaptor We are not offering interface adaptor boards for the MilQor Hi-REL product line at this time.

The Interface Adapter, when used with a DC-DC converter, can be populated with input, output and Y-capacitors, as well as enable and trim resistors. SynQor also has the capability to deliver Interface Adaptors pre-assembled with these additional components mounted on as sub-assemblies or mounted to a SynQor product. SynQor’s Field Application Engineers will work with customers in order to define any additional components required based on SynQor’s internal design guidelines. Consult the factory for details. Details related to the function and use of the various component options on the Interface Adaptor are described in this application note. We strongly recommend that the user consult the datasheet for the particular product(s) being used to determine appropriate values for these components.
