Pollution degree (PD) : PD 2
IP protection class : IP X0
Altitude of operation (m) : 2000
Altitude of test laboratory (m) : 150
Mass of equipment (kg) : 0.0125
Input Voltage: Nameplate rating is a nominal input voltage. The highest voltage BCM was evaluated
over the entire specified voltage range.
Engineering Conditions of Acceptability
For use only in or with complete equipment where the acceptability of the combination is determined by UL
LLC. When installed in an end-product, consideration must be given to the following:
The following components require special consideration during end-product Thermal (Heating) tests;
Keep the maximum semiconductor junction temperature 125°C or less. This can be achieved in one
of two ways. , Keep Tcasemax < 100C under all conditions where Tcasemax is the maximum case
temp of the VI Chip, or , Keep Tcasemax < 125C - (Pdissmax X 1.5) under all conditions , Pdissmax
is the maximum power dissipation of the module at temperature, defined by PInput_max POutput_max where POutput_max is defined as the maximum output power in the application.
Method three: Maintain the internal semiconductor junction trmperature at Tj = 125 degrees C or
less. This can be achieved by measuring the dc voltage at the TM (temperature monitor) lead and
converting the voltage to temperature. The TM has a nominal +27C set point of 3.0 Vdc and a
nominal gain of 10mV / degrees C. Example; TM = 3.4 Vdc, Tj = (27 + 40) 67 degrees C. ,
Fusing Requirements: To meet safety requirements, the input of the BCM module requires a
Bussmann PC-Tron fuse rated 2.5 A or less or an SOC type 36CFA rated 3.15A or less.
Input is intended to be supplied from a non-isolated offline circuit.
The output is considered to be SELV
Outputs above 240 Watts are considered to be at a hazardous energy level.
The output is separated from the input by reinforced insulation.
