This section includes step-by-step instructions on
how to assemble the AMC-MOD-50A-EVM. Lugs come secured by default, but if the user
needs to reattach the lugs during evaluation, follow these steps:
- Connect the high-current input lugs to the J2
(IN+) and J5(IN-) pads with the supplied screw and hex nut.
- Make sure the lugs do not
touch when secured.
- Make sure that the lugs
are positioned such that the lugs make contact with the maximum amount
of surface area of the PCB pad.
- Make sure the connectors
are tightly fastened to the current carrying cables such that the
connectors cannot be moved by hand. A torque wrench is recommended to
provide symmetrical connection. A torque of approximately 40in-lbs is
recommended.
- Solder an additional shunt resistor if desired.
See Section 2.7 for more information on shunt limitations.
- Implement overcurrent protection through the
external microcontroller if desired.
