Recommended Hardware

All hardware is stainless steel except the ring lug.
Kit # 26647 is included with the evaluation board.

Thermal

For most lab environments a fan blowing across the evaluation board is recommended.  

See Application Note 

AN:008 

or contact Vicor Applications Engineering for assistance.

Caution

The BCM

®

 and evaluation board can comfortably operate at surface temperatures which may pose a 

thermal hazard to the operator. Be careful not to touch any exposed surface. Certain BCMs may operate 

at potentially dangerous voltages, use care in such cases. The evaluation board is not intended for use in 

end item equipment.

Ordering Information

The BCM evaluation boards can be ordered from the Vicor website:
