8. Absolute maximum ratings

Input Voltage (Vin relative to GND): -40V to +30V (40V for 0.5sec)

MOD pin input voltage (relative to GND): -0.3V to Vin

Input Current: 1A

Operating temperature:

LW05-200: -30°C to +85°C in still air

LW05-350: -30°C to +85°C in still air

Absolute maximum ratings must not be exceeded or permanent damage to the LED-Warrior05 may

result.

8.1 Thermal precautions

When operating at elevated ambient temperature,

vertical mounting in an air volume sufficiently

large to allow convection is recommended to

reduce surface temperature of the regulator.

Additional cooling measures can help to further

reduce the regulator temperature and increase long

term reliability.

No part of the module surface may exceed 125°C

during operation at any time.

8.2 Electrical Characteristics

Input Voltage (Vin): 7V to 30V

Standby current (MOD high): max. 3.5mA

8.3 Failure modes

The most common failure mode seen when the

regulator is destroyed due to overtemperature,

overcurrent, or overvoltage is an internal short

circuit that causes the fuse to disconnect. The fuse

has the ability to disconnect failure currents up to

50A and starts to trip at 1A.

8.4 Recommended safety measures

Materials with low flash points must be kept away

from the regulator. The surface temperature of

parts of the regulator may reach up to 125°C

surface temperature when used at elevated ambient

temperatures and maximum power.
