When we use LNK420 ( this one: http://www.kynix.com/Parts/80833/LNK420LG.html and the datasheet: http://www.alldatasheet.com/view.jsp?Searchword=LNK420LG) with power supply 75 W we have got cracks in the body. The photos are attached. Does it happen often with LNK420? What is the solution?
i will clarify the situation.
This is not regular. At the moment is sporadic failure. It was noticed to me that this failure occurs duren transient processes:
- cyclic switch on/off power supply
- powerfull surge transients (this it indicated by a destroyed varistor, Y2 capasitor and fuse)
So, i`m inclined to think that the engineer made a lot of mistakes when developing a power supply:
- PCB. Design is bad. Does not even meet your recomendation. Reality, is not possible to obtain power above 45 watts, system is not stable. The situation is corrected by adding С18?
- BOM. No logic. 100V shottky diode (VS-12CWQ10FN), under doubt transformer configuration (ETD29 0,7mm gap N87 Pri: 81T Sec: 20T Bias: 13T), clamp network (1.5KE250), wide range of regulation current (30V 45-75W), C18 in parallel FB pin (Kirchhoff`s circuiit laws ?)
- As a result we have: low PF (about 0.9), unstable current regulation (more 5%), switch off PS if input voltage under 175 VAC (OVP triger), flickering 30-50%
