Description
The QHW050G1, QHW075G1, and QHW100G1 Power Modules are dc-dc converters that operate over an
input voltage range of 36 Vdc to 75 Vdc and provide a precisely regulated dc output. The outputs are fully iso-
lated from the inputs, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. The modules have
maximum power ratings from 25 W to 50 W at a typical full-load efficiency of 86%.
The sealed modules offer a metal baseplate for excellent thermal performance. Threaded-through holes are pro-
vided to allow easy mounting or addition of a heat sink for high-temperature applications. The standard feature set
includes remote sensing, output trim, and remote on/off for convenient flexibility in distributed power applications.

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 20 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, Cleaning, and Drying Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board assembly process prior to electrical testing. The result of inad-
equate 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).
