BR301-DS, Rev. 1.0 SANKEN ELECTRIC CO., LTD. 8 September 11, 2012 BR301 3.3 V, 1 A Non-Isolated Step Down DC/DC Converter Module OPERATING PRECAUTIONS Because reliability can be affected adversely by improper storage environments and handling methods, please observe the following cautions. Cautions for Storage • Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard temperature (5°C to 35°C) and the standard relative humidity (around 40% to 75%); avoid storage locations that experience extreme changes in temperature or humidity. • Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present and avoid direct sunlight. • Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of products that have been stored for a long time. Cautions for Testing and Handling When tests are carried out during inspection testing and other standard test periods, protect the products from power surges from the testing products, shorts between the product pins, and wrong connections. In addition, avoid tests exceeded ratings. Soldering • When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize the working time, within the following limits. • 260 ±5°C 10 ±1 s (Flow, 2 times) • 350 ±5°C 3.0 ±0.5 s (Soldering iron, 1 time) At a distance of 3.4 mm from the main body of the products. Electrostatic Discharge • When handling the products, the operator must be grounded. To prevent shock hazard, grounded wrist straps should be used and at least 1 MΩ of resistance from the operator to ground should be placed near the operator. • Workbenches where the products are handled should be grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor mats. • When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer, the equipment should be grounded. • When soldering the products, the head of a soldering irons or the solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent leak voltages generated by them from being applied to the products. • The products should always be stored and transported in Sanken shipping containers or conductive containers, or be wrapped in aluminum foil.

Users of Sanken products are requested to take, at their own risk, preventative measures including safety design of the equipment or systems against any possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device failure or malfunction. • Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment, measuring equipment, etc.). When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required (transportation equipment and its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm systems, various safety devices, etc.), and whenever long life expectancy is required even in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus, please contact your nearest Sanken sales representative to discuss, prior to the use of the products herein. The use of Sanken products without the written consent of Sanken in the applications where extremely high reliability is required (aerospace equipment, nuclear power control systems, life support systems, etc.) is strictly prohibited. • In the case that you use Sanken products or design your products by using Sanken products, the reliability largely depends on the degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation range is set by derating the load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general, derating factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses, instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must be taken into consideration. In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC's including power devices have large self-heating value, the degree of derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly. • When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii) physically, chemically or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks that may result from all such uses in advance and proceed therewith at your own responsibility. • Anti radioactive ray design is not considered for the products listed herein. • Sanken assumes no responsibility for any troubles, such as dropping products caused during transportation out of Sanken's distribution network. • The contents in this document must not be transcribed or copied without Sanken's written consent.
