PKM 4000C Datasheet
Reliability
Quality Statement
The PKM 4000C series DC/DC converters are designed
and manufactured in an industrial environment where
quality systems and methods like ISO 9000, 6
σ (sigma),
and SPC are intensively in use to boost the continuous
improvements strategy. Infant mortality or early failures
in the products are screened out and they are subjected
to an ATE-based nal test. Conservative design rules,
design reviews and product qualications, plus the high
competence of an engaged work force, contribute to the
high quality of our products.
Limitation of Liability
Ericsson Power Modules does not make any other
warranties, expressed or implied including any warranty of
merchantability or tness for a particular purpose (including,
but not limited to, use in life support applications, where
malfunctions of product can cause injury to a person's
health or life).
Soldering Information
The Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the PKM 4000C
series DC/DC converter is calculated at full output power
and an operating ambient temperature (TA) of +40°C.
Different methods could be used to calculate the predicted
MTBF and failure rate which may give different results.
Ericsson Power Modules currently uses two different
methods, Ericsson failure rate data system DependTool and
Telcordia SR332.
Predicted MTBF for the PKM 4000C series products is:
2.7 million hours according to DependTool.
1.4 million hours according to Telcordia SR332, issue 1,
Black box techique.
The Ericsson failure rate data system is based on field
tracking data. The data corresponds to actual failure
rates of components used in Information Technology
and Telecom (IT&T) equipment in temperature controlled
environments
(TA = -5...+65°C). Telcordia SR332 is a commonly used
standard method intended for reliability calculations in IT&T
equipment. The parts count procedure used in this method
was originally modeled on the methods from MIL-HDBK-
217F, Reliability Predictions of Electronic Equipment. It
assumes that no reliability data is available on the actual
units and devices for which the predictions are to be
made, i.e. all predictions are based on generic reliability
parameters.

Design for Environment (DfE)
The PKM 4000C Series DC/DC converters are designed to
full the wanted functionality with minimum environmental
impact. The PKM 4000C Series DC/DC converters are
RoHS compliant, meaning that the content of hazardous
substances are below the following levels:
Lead (Pb):
1000 ppm by weight
Mercury (Hg):
1000 ppm by weight
Cadmium (Cd):
100 ppm by weight
Hexa Valent Chromium (Cr6+):
1000 ppm by weight
PBB & PBDE:
1000 ppm by weight
The low weight high efciency converters are shipped in a
recyclable package.
The PKM 4000C Series DC/DC converters are intended
for through hole mounting on a PCB. When wave soldering
is used max temperature on the pins is specied to
260°C for 10 seconds. Maximum preheat rate of 4°C/s
and temperature of max 130°C is suggested. When hand
soldering, care should be taken to avoid direct contact
between the hot soldering iron tip and the pins for more
than a few seconds in order to prevent overheating.
No-clean ux is recommended to avoid entrapment of
cleaning uids in cavities inside of the DC/DC power
module. The residues may affect long time reliability and
isolation voltage.
