Efficiency (typical) 85% at the specified nominal-input and rated-load conditions.
Capacitive load (maximum) 2200 µF for each output.
Voltage accuracy ±1.5%
Ripple and noise 50 mVp-p. Measured with 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Line regulation ±0.5% from low to high input at rated load.
Load regulation ±1% (25–100% rated load).
Switching frequency 100 kHz minimum
Input filter Pi-type input filter.
Specification conditions Nominal input 48 V DC, rated load, 25°C ambient and 70% RH unless otherwise specified.
Series efficiency reference The catalog family reaches up to 87%; use the model-specific typical efficiency above for this selection.

Protection and control

Parameter Specification
Input fuse An external input fuse is recommended: 0.5 A fast-acting.
Input surge 100 V DC for 100 ms maximum; not a continuous operating rating.
Short circuit Continuous protection with automatic recovery.
Overload 120–250% of rated output power; automatic recovery after removal of the fault.
Input undervoltage lockout Start-up: 34 V DC; shutdown: 31 V DC.
Internal power dissipation 500 mW, as specified in the catalog.

Mechanical and environmental specifications

Parameter Specification
Dimensions 31.8 × 20.3 × 10.2 mm (L × W × H).
Case and cooling Non-conductive black plastic, UL 94V-0 rated. Free-air convection cooling.
Pin assignment Bottom-view numbering: pins 2 and 3 = −Vin; pins 22 and 23 = +Vin; pins 9 and 16 = COM; pin 11 = −Vout; pin 14 = +Vout. N.C. means no connection. Follow the drawing orientation when laying out the PCB.
Mechanical installation DIP24 footprint; 2.54 mm grid, 15.24 mm between pin rows and 3.8 mm lead projection. Pin size: 0.5 ±0.05 mm. Use the model-specific bottom-view and top-view PCB drawings.
Working environment −40 to +90°C with load derating; 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Load derating Natural convection: 100% load through +80°C, then derate to 50% at +90°C.
Storage -40 to +100°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing.
Temperature coefficient 0.03%/°C (0–90°C).
Case temperature +100°C maximum.
Soldering At 1.5 mm from the case: 260°C maximum for 1–3 s.
Vibration 10–500 Hz, 2 G, 10 minutes per cycle; 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis.
Catalog packing reference per unit 12.4 g, from the catalog PACKING entry; not a measured net weight.
Manufacturer packing 10 pieces per tube; this is the catalog packing arrangement.

Isolation, EMC and manufacturer information

Parameter Specification
Isolation withstand Input-to-output: 3 kV DC.
Isolation resistance Input-to-output: 100 MΩ at 500 V DC, 25°C and 70% RH.
Isolation capacitance 250 pF typical.
EMC emissions Conducted: not specified (N/A). Radiated: BS EN/EN 55032 (CISPR 32) Class A without additional components.
EMC immunity BS EN/EN 61000-4-2: Level 2, ±8 kV air / ±4 kV contact; -4-3: Level 2, 3 V/m; -4-4: Level 1, 0.5 kV; -4-5: Level 1, 0.5 kV line-to-line; -4-6: Level 2, 3 V (e.m.f.). -4-8: Level 2, 3 A/m.
Approval EAC TP TC 020/2011 approved.
System EMC Reconfirm EMC compliance in the final equipment. The component specification does not replace the complete system assessment.
MTBF 1800 k hours typical per MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C; not a service-life or warranty guarantee.
Manufacturer warranty reference The catalog states a 3-year manufacturer warranty; the manufacturer’s applicable terms govern.
