Ag9000-S
Power-Over-Ethernet Module
One simple method for drawing some of the heat away from the Ag9000-S is shown in
Figure 9. Power planes connected to the +VDC and GND pins of the Ag9000-S can be
used to draw heat away from the DC/DC converter via the output pins.
These power planes must be on the outer layers of the PCB and the Ag9000-S must not
be fitted into a socket.

Figure 10, Figure 11 & Figure 12 show the maximum ambient temperature under different
load conditions. These figure have been recorded in a sealed enclosure (in still air) using a
heater element to elevate the ambient temperature (within the enclosure).
