Model and Construction
| Complete model |
IRM-20-3.3; PCB-mount AC/DC industrial power module. The final model-code field specifies the nominal DC output voltage. |
| Construction |
94V-0 flame-retardant plastic case with silicone potting. The catalogue describes basic resistance to dust and moisture; no IP rating is specified. |
| Electrical class |
Class II design with no functional-ground (FG) pin. |
| Limited power source |
The family feature page states that the series passes LPS. |
| Typical applications |
Industrial electrical and mechanical equipment, factory automation and hand-held electronic devices. |
Model-Specific DC Output
| DC voltage |
3.3 V. |
| Rated current |
4.5 A. |
| Current range |
0–4.5 A. |
| Rated output power |
14.85 W. |
| Ripple and noise, maximum |
200 mVp-p. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±2.5%; includes set-up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line regulation |
±0.5%. |
| Load regulation |
±1%. |
| Efficiency, typical |
76%. |
Ripple and noise are measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. Use the continuous voltage, current and power ratings together; protection thresholds are not output-power allowances.
Input and Start-Up
| AC input |
85–305 VAC; observe the low-input derating curve. |

0.6 A at 115 VAC; 0.4 A at 230 VAC; 0.3 A at 277 VAC. |
| Cold-start inrush, typical |
20 A at 115 VAC; 40 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 0.25 mA at 277 VAC. |
| No-load consumption |
Less than 0.1 W. |
| Set-up and rise time |
1000 ms set-up; 20 ms rise at full load. Both 230 VAC and 115 VAC are listed. |
| Hold-up time, typical |
40 ms at 230 VAC; 8 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Switching frequency reference |
65 kHz in the block diagram. |
Unless otherwise specified, catalogue parameters are measured at 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient.
Protection
| Short circuit and overload |
Overload range: 115–160% of rated output power. Hiccup mode recovers automatically after the fault is removed; short-circuit protection is listed. |
| Overvoltage threshold |
3.8–4.46 V. |
| Overvoltage response |
Output voltage shuts off and is clamped by a zener diode. |
Cooling, Derating and Environment
| Cooling |
Free-air convection; published temperature/load curves use horizontal mounting. |
| Working ambient |
−30 to +85°C, with load derating. |
| Temperature/load anchors |
-30°C: 100%; 45°C: 100%; 60°C: 70%; 70°C: 50%; 80°C: 20%; 85°C: 5%. |
| Input-voltage/load anchors |
At 60 Hz: 85 VAC gives 80% load; 115 VAC gives 100%; the 100% plateau extends to 305 VAC. |
| Operating humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage conditions |
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
10–500 Hz, 2 G, 10 minutes per cycle, 60 minutes each along X, Y and Z. |
| Operating-altitude table entry |
2,000 m. Apply the separate standards-specific overvoltage-category conditions below. |
| Altitude footnote |
For operation above 2,000 m where the applicable certification permits it, the catalogue specifies a 3.5°C reduction per additional 1,000 m for fanless models. This footnote does not extend a certification altitude limit. |
Combine the input-voltage and temperature restrictions. The +85°C endpoint is a derated operating point, not a full-load rating. Use the complete plotted curves for intermediate conditions.
