TECHNICAL NOTES
ISOLATION VOLTAGE
‘Hi Pot Test’, ‘Flash Tested’, ‘Withstand Voltage’, ‘Proof Voltage’, ‘Dielectric Withstand Voltage’ & ‘Isolation Test Voltage’ are all terms that relate to the same thing, a test
voltage, applied for a specified time, across a component designed to provide electrical isolation, to verify the integrity of that isolation.
Murata Power Solutions MEJ1 series of DC/DC converters are all 100% production tested at their stated isolation voltage. This is 5.2kVDC for 1 second.
A question commonly asked is, “What is the continuous voltage that can be applied across the part in normal operation?”
The MEJ1 series has been recognized by Underwiters Laboratory for various voltages, please see safety approval section below.
REPEATED HIGH-VOLTAGE ISOLATION TESTING
It is well known that repeated high-voltage isolation testing of a barrier component can actually degrade isolation capability, to a lesser or greater degree depending on
materials, construction and environment. We therefore strongly advise against repeated high voltage isolation testing, but if it is absolutely required, that the voltage be
reduced by 20% from specified test voltage.
SAFETY APPROVAL
ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1
The MEJ1 series has been tested by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to meet ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1 medical safety standard providing the following MOOP (means of operator
protection), in a maximum ambient temperature of 85°C and/or case temperature limit of 155°C (case temperature measured on the face opposite the pins): 1 MOOP based upon
a working voltage of 200 Vrms max and 280 Vpk max., between Primary and Secondary and between Primary and its Enclosure. File Number E202895 applies.
UL 60950
The MEJ1 series has been recognized by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to UL 60950 for basic/supplementary insulation to a working voltage of 300Vrms in a maximum ambient
temperature of 85°C and/or case temperature limit of 130°C (case temperature measured on the face opposite the pins). File number E151252 applies.
FUSING
The MEJ1 Series of converters are not internally fused so to meet the requirements of UL an anti-surge input line fuse should always be used with ratings as defined below.
MEJ1x03xxSC 1A
MEJ1x05xxSC 1A
MEJ1x12xxSC 500mA
MEJ1x15xxSC 500mA
MEJ1x24xxSC 250mA
All fuses should be UL recognized and rated to at least the maximum allowable DC input voltage.
RoHS COMPLIANCE INFORMATION
This series is compatible with RoHS soldering systems with a peak wave solder temperature of 260ºC for 10 seconds. The pin termination finish
on this product series is Tin Plate, Hot Dipped over Matte Tin with Nickel Preplate. The series is backward compatible with Sn/Pb soldering
systems. For further information, please visit www.murata-ps.com/rohs
