Model and Mounting Configuration
Exact model
IRM-02-12S.
Installation style
SMD surface mount. The S suffix identifies the SMD configuration.
Construction
Phenolic enclosure with silicone potting to support heat dissipation, vibration resistance and basic resistance to dust and moisture.
Typical applications
Industrial electrical equipment, mechanical equipment, factory automation and handheld electronic devices.
This is an encapsulated industrial AC/DC power module for integration on an equipment PCB. Its mounting style, pin assignments and soldering limits must match the selected model. The enclosure description does not specify an IP rating.
Model-Specific DC Output
DC output voltage
12 V.
Rated current
167 mA (0.167 A).
Current range
0–167 mA.
Rated output power
2 W, as printed for this exact model.
Ripple and noise, maximum
150 mVp-p.
Voltage tolerance
±2.5%; includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Line regulation
±0.5%.
Load regulation
±0.5%.
Efficiency, typical
74%.
Unless stated otherwise, parameters are measured at 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C ambient. The rated power and current preserve the catalogue’s printed precision.
Ripple and noise are measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors in parallel.
Input and Start-Up
AC input range
85–305 VAC; universal full-range input, subject to low-input derating.
DC input range
120–430 VDC.
AC frequency
47–63 Hz.
Input current, typical
45 mA at 115 VAC; 30 mA at 230 VAC; 25 mA at 277 VAC.
Inrush current, typical
5 A at 115 VAC; 10 A at 230 VAC.
No-load input power
Less than 0.075 W.
Set-up and rise time
600 ms set-up and 30 ms rise, at both 230 VAC and 115 VAC, full load.
Hold-up time, typical
40 ms at 230 VAC; 12 ms at 115 VAC, full load.
Leakage current
Less than 0.25 mA at 277 VAC.
Switching-frequency reference
130 kHz in the block diagram.
Protection
Short circuit and overload
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload threshold: ≥110% of rated output power; hiccup mode automatically recovers after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage threshold
12.6–16.2 V.
Overvoltage action
Output voltage shuts off, with clamping by a zener diode.
Protection thresholds are not additional continuous or peak output ratings. Operate within the model-specific current and power ratings and the applicable derating curves.
Cooling, Derating and Environment
Cooling
Free-air convection.
Working ambient range
−30 to +85°C, subject to the load-derating curve.
Horizontal temperature/load curve
100% load from −30 to +70°C, reducing to 60% at +85°C.
Input-voltage/load curve
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 85 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC; 100% plateau through 305 VAC.
Operating humidity
20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage conditions
−40 to +100°C; 10–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient
±0.03%/°C from 0 to 75°C.
Vibration
10–500 Hz, 5 G, 10 minutes per cycle; 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z.
High-altitude thermal note
For fanless models operating above 2,000 m, the catalogue specifies an ambient-temperature reduction of 3.5°C per additional 1,000 m. This thermal note does not extend the separately stated OVC II altitude rating.
Apply temperature and input-voltage restrictions together, using the full curves for intermediate conditions. The upper working temperature is a derated operating point, not a full-power claim.
Dimensions, Pin Assignments and Soldering

Mounting and accessory selection
Use the matching manufacturer footprint and installation instructions. The assigned catalogue pages specify no separate orderable connector, mounting kit or accessory code for this model.
The case drawing and the recommended board layout use different views where indicated. Do not mirror input and output connections or treat NC positions as usable electrical terminals. Case references and dimension callouts are not separate accessory ordering codes.
