Model Code and Construction
Complete model
IRM-45-24
Series
IRM-45 industrial AC/DC power module.
Output code
24 V nominal DC output.
Mounting suffix
No suffix means PCB mounting style.
Housing
94V-0 flame-retardant plastic case with silicone potting for heat dissipation and fundamental resistance to dust and moisture.
Typical applications include industrial electrical equipment, mechanical equipment, factory automation and handheld electronic devices. Select the actual mounting version when designing the assembly; the PCB and ST versions have different dimensions, connections, weight and vibration ratings.
Output Ratings and Performance
Nominal DC voltage
24 V.
Continuous rated current
1.9 A.
Catalogue-rated output power
45.6 W.
Output current range
0–1.9 A.
Ripple and noise, maximum
200 mVp-p.
Voltage tolerance
±2.5%; includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Line regulation
±0.5%.
Load regulation
±0.5%.
Efficiency, typical
89.5%.
Ripple and noise are measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors in parallel. Catalogue power and current retain their printed precision.
Input and Timing
Input voltage
85–305 VAC.
AC frequency
47–440 Hz.
AC current, typical
1.5 A at 115 VAC; 0.9 A at 230 VAC; 0.75 A at 277 VAC.
Cold-start inrush, typical
30 A at 115 VAC; 60 A at 230 VAC.
Setup / rise time
1000 ms / 30 ms at 230 VAC; 2000 ms / 30 ms at 115 VAC, full load.
Hold-up time, typical
50 ms at 230 VAC; 12 ms at 115 VAC, full load.
No-load power consumption
Less than 0.15 W.
Leakage current
Less than 0.25 mA at 277 VAC.
Block-diagram switching frequency
65 kHz.
Unless stated otherwise, catalogue parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Typical values are not guaranteed minima.
Protection
Short circuit / overload
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload operates at 115–160% of rated output power: hiccup mode with automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage threshold
25.2–32.4 V.
Overvoltage action
Output voltage shuts off and is clamped by a zener diode.
Protection thresholds are not additional continuous-output or peak-power ratings.
Cooling, Derating and Environment
Cooling
Free-air convection; the ambient derating graph is for horizontal mounting.
Operating temperature
−30 to +85°C, subject to all applicable derating curves.
Temperature/load limits
The 100 VAC curve permits full load through 50°C, then 75% at 60°C, 50% at 70°C, 33% at 80°C and 25% at 85°C. The shaded −30 to −25°C region is for 230 VAC input only.
Input/load limits
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 85 VAC, increasing to 100% at 100 VAC; 100% from 100 to 305 VAC.
Working humidity
20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C.
Vibration for this version
2 G, 10–500 Hz, 10 minutes per cycle; 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z.
Operating altitude
The specification lists 2,000 m.
Altitude note
The general catalogue note states 3.5°C ambient-temperature derating per 1,000 m above 2,000 m for fanless models. This note does not by itself extend the listed 2,000 m operating or approval limit.
Use the complete published curves for intermediate conditions. Apply input-voltage, ambient-temperature, installation and any peak-load restrictions together; +85°C is not a full-load operating point.
Mechanical Layout and Installation
Catalogue dimensions, L × W × H
87 × 52 × 29.5 mm.
Mechanical drawing tolerance
±1 mm, unless an individual dimension is separately toleranced.
PCB connection view
BOTTOM VIEW: at the upper right, upper pin AC/L and lower pin AC/N. At the lower left, upper output pin −V and lower output pin +V.
PCB footprint
Input spacing 6.75 mm; output spacing 5.5 mm. Pin-column horizontal spacing 76 mm, left column 5.7 mm from the left edge. The input upper pin is 5 mm from the top; output upper pin is 40.75 mm from the top.
PCB pin dimensions
Input pins Ø1 mm and output pins Ø2 mm; projection 3.5 ±1 mm. Use the exact bottom-view footprint.
Soldering limits
Wave soldering: 265°C for 5 seconds maximum. Manual soldering: 390°C for 3 seconds maximum.
Use the version-specific drawing for the mounting footprint and polarity. The assigned catalogue pages do not state a separate accessory, mating connector or conversion-kit order code; do not assume a PCB module can be converted to an ST model by adding an unlisted kit.
Follow the manufacturer installation instructions and actual terminal markings. No terminal tightening torque, wire gauge, installation clearance or separately supplied mounting screw is specified in these pages.

The final equipment must be checked for EMC compliance in its installed configuration. Silicone potting provides fundamental resistance to dust and moisture; these pages do not assign an IP ingress-protection rating.
