Model-Specific DC Output
| Nominal output |
36 V DC. |
| Rated continuous output |
2.1 A / 75.6 W, subject to the cooling and temperature limits. |
| Specified current range |
0–2.1 A; continuous loading remains limited by the rated current and power. |
| Ripple and noise, maximum |
280 mVp-p. |
| Output-voltage adjustment |
32.4–39.6 V using SVR1. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±1.0%. |
| Line / load regulation |
±0.5% / ±1.0%. |
| Efficiency, typical |
90%. |
Unless stated otherwise, specifications are measured at 230 VAC, rated load and 25°C. Ripple/noise uses 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Voltage tolerance includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Input and Operating Features
| Input range |
90–264 VAC or 127–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. |
| Input current, typical |
1.8 A at 115 VAC; 1 A at 230 VAC. |
| Cold-start inrush, typical |
60 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 1 mA at 240 VAC. |
| Set-up / rise time |
2500 / 50 ms at both 230 VAC and 115 VAC, full load. |
| Hold-up time, typical |
20 ms at 230 VAC; 20 ms at 115 VAC, full load. |
| Switching-frequency reference |
100 kHz in the block diagram. |
| Power indication |
Built-in power-on LED. |
| Power-factor correction |
Built-in active PFC; typical PF >0.95 at 230 VAC and >0.98 at 115 VAC, full load. |
| No-load consumption |
Less than 0.5 W. |
Protection
| Short circuit / overload |
105–150% of rated output power; hiccup mode with automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
39.7–46.8 V; output shutdown, re-power on to recover. |
Cooling, Derating and Environment
| Operating temperature |
-30–70°C; allowable load follows the horizontal-installation curve. |
| Cooling |
Free-air convection. Keep the ventilation path clear and apply the curve for the actual installation. |
| Thermal limit for this output |
At 36 V, full load extends to 50°C, then decreases linearly to 60% load at 70°C. |
| Low-temperature input condition |
At 230 VAC, the curve permits full load from −30°C. At 115 VAC, allowable load rises from 80% at −30°C to 100% at −20°C. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 90 VAC, rising to 100% at 100 VAC; the full-load plateau continues through 264 VAC. |
| Working humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage |
Temperature -40–85°C; humidity 10–95% RH. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 2 G; 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis. |
| High-altitude temperature adjustment |
Above 2000 m, reduce allowable ambient temperature by 3.5°C per 1000 m for fanless operation or 5°C per 1000 m for fan-cooled operation. |
Apply the input-voltage and temperature limits together; a wide operating-temperature range does not mean full power at every temperature.

Choose complete mating housings by circuit count and wire size. Mating housings, contacts and any external fan should be specified separately; the connector reference table does not state that loose mating parts are supplied. Follow the manufacturer installation instructions and maintain the required safety clearances.
