Construction and Reliability

IP Modules were conceived and engineered for rugged industrial environments. The IP-

CF is constructed out of 0.062 inch thick high temp FR4 material.

Through hole and surface mounting of components are used. IC sockets use high

quality plated screw machine pins. High insertion and removal forces are required,

which assists in the retention of components. If the application requires unusually high

reliability or is in an environment subject to high vibration, the user may solder the

corner pins of each socketed IC into the socket, using a grounded soldering iron.

The IP Module connectors are keyed and shrouded with Gold plated pins on both plugs

and receptacles. They are rated at 1 Amp per pin, 200 insertion cycles minimum. These

connectors make consistent, correct insertion easy and reliable.

The IP is secured against the carrier with four metric M2 stainless steel screws. The

heads of the screws are countersunk into the IP. The four screws provide significant

protection against shock, vibration, and incomplete insertion. For most applications,

they are not required. Please order standard mounting kit for IPs if you want this option.

[IP-MTG-KIT]

The IP Module provides a low temperature coefficient of 0.89 W/ o C for uniform heat.

This is based upon the temperature coefficient of the base FR4 material of 0.31 W/m-

o C, and taking into account the thickness and area of the IP. The coefficient means that

if 0.89 Watts are applied uniformly on the component side, then the temperature

difference between the component side and solder side is one degree Celsius.
