Description
The EBVW017A0S14R0 series of dc-dc converters are a new generation of DC/DC power modules designed to
support 14.0Vdc DSL applications, as distributed power architectures. The EBVW017A0S14R0 series operate from an
input voltage range of 36 to 75Vdc, and provide up to 17A output current at 14.0Vdc output voltage, and 240W output
power in a DOSA standard eighth brick. The converter incorporates digital control, synchronous rectification
technology, and innovative packaging techniques to achieve efficiency reaching 95.5% peak at 14.0Vdc output. This
leads to lower power dissipations such that for many applications a heat sink is not required. Standard features
include on/off control, output overcurrent and over voltage protection, over temperature protection, input under and
over voltage lockout. Optional features include a base plate for heat sink or cold wall applications.
The output is fully isolated from the input, allowing versatile polarity configurations and grounding connections. Builtin filtering for both input and output minimizes the need for external filtering.

CAUTION: This power module is not internally fused. An input line fuse must always be used.
This power module can be used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from simple standalone operation to an
integrated part of sophisticated power architecture. To preserve maximum flexibility, internal fusing is not included,
however, to achieve maximum safety and system protection, always use an input line fuse. The safety agencies require a
fast-acting fuse with a maximum rating of 15 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 Sheet for further information.

In compliance with JEDEC J-STD-020C spec for 2 times

Pb-free Reflow Profile
BMP module will comply with J-STD-020 Rev. C
(Moisture/Reflow Sensitivity Classification for
Nonhermetic Solid State Surface Mount Devices) for both
Pb-free solder profiles and MSL classification
procedures. BMP will comply with JEDEC J-STD-020C
specification for 3 times reflow requirement. The suggested
Pb-free solder paste is Sn/Ag/Cu (SAC). The
recommended linear reflow profile using Sn/Ag/Cu solder is
shown in Figure 23.
April 16, 2021
Temp
The RoHS-compliant, Z version, through-hole products use
the SAC (Sn/Ag/Cu) Pb-free solder and RoHS-compliant
components. The non-Z version products use lead-tin
(Pb/Sn) solder and RoHS-compliant components. Both
version modules are designed to be processed through
single or dual wave soldering machines. The pins have an
RoHS-compliant, pure tin finish that is compatible with both
Pb and Pb-free wave soldering processes. A maximum
preheat rate of 3C/s is suggested. The wave preheat
process should be such that the temperature of the power
module board is kept below 210C. For Pb solder, the
recommended pot temperature is 260C, while the Pb-free
solder pot is 270C max. Not all RoHS-compliant throughhole products can be processed with paste-through-hole
Pb or Pb-free reflow process. If additional information is
needed, please consult with your GE representative for
more details.

MSL Rating
The EBVW017A0S14R0 modules have a MSL rating as
indicated in the Device Codes table, last page of this
document.
Storage and Handling
The recommended storage environment and handling
procedures for moisture-sensitive surface mount packages
is detailed in J-STD-033 Rev. A (Handling, Packing,
Shipping and Use of Moisture/Reflow Sensitive Surface
Mount Devices). Moisture barrier bags (MBB) with
desiccant are required for MSL ratings of 2 or greater.
These sealed packages should not be broken until time of
use. Once the original package is broken, the floor life of
the product at conditions of 30°C and 60% relative
humidity varies according to the MSL rating (see J-STD025A). The shelf life for dry packed SMT packages will be
a minimum of 12 months from the bag seal date, when
stored at the following conditions: < 40° C, < 90% relative
humidity.
Post Solder Cleaning and Drying
Considerations
Post solder cleaning is usually the final circuit-board
assembly process prior to electrical board testing. The
result of inadequate 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 GE Board Mounted Power Modules: Soldering and
Cleaning Application Note (AP01-056EPS).
