- Solution : Implement proper heatsinking with thermal compound (0.05°C/W thermal resistance recommended)
Pitfall 2: Incorrect Mounting Torque
- Problem : Poor thermal transfer or mechanical damage
- Solution : Use torque-controlled tools and follow manufacturer's mounting specifications
Pitfall 3: Insufficient Input Filtering
- Problem : Electromagnetic interference and voltage spikes
- Solution : Incorporate X-capacitors and common-mode chokes in input stage
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Matching:
- Ensure downstream components can handle rectified voltage (√2 × VAC input)
- Match with capacitors rated for calculated peak voltages
Current Handling:
- Verify that connected components (diodes, transistors) can withstand surge currents
- Consider inrush current limiting for capacitive loads
Thermal System Integration:
- Coordinate with system-level thermal management strategy
- Ensure compatible thermal interface materials
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Routing:
- Use 2oz copper thickness for high-current traces
- Maintain minimum 3mm clearance between AC and DC sections
- Implement star grounding at DC output
Thermal Management:
- Provide adequate copper pour around mounting holes
- Include thermal vias for heatsink attachment
- Allow 5mm minimum clearance from other heat-generating components
EMI Reduction:
- Keep AC input traces short and twisted pairs where possible
- Place bypass capacitors (100nF ceramic) close to device pins
- Implement proper shielding for sensitive analog circuits
