Model and Output
| Complete model / catalogue |
MDR-60-48; MDR-60 catalogue revision 2025-07-25. The final code denotes the nominal 48 V output. |
| Rated DC output |
48 V / 1.25 A / 60 W; current range 0–1.25 A. |
| Output adjustment |
48–56 V using +V ADJ. Observe the rated output-current and power limits when adjusting voltage. |
| Ripple and noise |
200 mVp-p maximum; measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors. |
| Voltage tolerance |
±1%, including setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. |
| Line / load regulation |
±1% / ±1%, respectively. |
| Typical efficiency |
87% at the default 230 VAC input, rated-load and 25°C ambient test conditions. |
Use the model-specific 60 W rating together with its input-voltage and ambient-temperature limits; the series name is not a uniform power rating for every output voltage.
Input and Timing
| AC / DC input |
85–264 VAC or 120–370 VDC; AC frequency 47–63 Hz. |
| Typical AC current |
1.8 A at 115 VAC; 1 A at 230 VAC. |
| Typical cold-start inrush |
30 A at 115 VAC; 60 A at 230 VAC. |
| Leakage current |
Less than 1 mA at 240 VAC. |
| Setup / rise time |
500 / 30 ms at both 230 VAC and 115 VAC, at full load. |
| Typical hold-up time |
50 ms at 230 VAC; 20 ms at 115 VAC, at full load. |
| No-load power consumption |
Less than 0.75 W. |
Setup time is measured at the first cold start; repeated power ON/OFF switching may increase it. Unless otherwise stated, specifications use 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient.
Protection and DC OK Relay
| Short circuit / overload |
105–150% of rated output power; constant-current limiting, with automatic recovery after the fault is removed. |
| Overvoltage |
57.6–64.8 V; output shutdown, with re-powering required for recovery. |
| DC OK contact states |
Closed: PSU turns on / DC OK. Open: PSU turns off / DC Fail. |
| Relay contact maximum |
30 V / 1 A with a resistive load. Use the two terminals marked DC OK as the relay contact pair. |
| Front indication / control |
DC OK LED indication and +V ADJ output-voltage adjustment are shown on the front drawing. |
| Switching frequency |
60 kHz, as labelled in the block diagram. |
The DC OK connection is a relay contact for monitoring; the contact rating is not an auxiliary power-output rating. Overload thresholds describe protective operation, not permission to exceed the continuous output rating.
Cooling and Operating Limits
| Cooling / orientation |
Free-air convection; the published ambient-temperature curve is for vertical mounting. |
| Temperature derating |
Operating range −20 to +70°C, subject to derating. This model permits 100% load through +55°C, then decreases linearly to 60% load at +70°C. |
| Input-voltage derating |
At 60 Hz AC, the curve shows 80% load at 85 VAC and 100% at 100 VAC; the full-load plateau continues to 264 VAC. Apply this with the temperature derating limit. |
| Working humidity |
20–90% RH, non-condensing. |
| Storage temperature / humidity |
−40 to +85°C; 10–95% RH. |
| Temperature coefficient |
±0.03%/°C over 0–50°C. |
| Vibration |
Component: 10–500 Hz, 2G, 10 min/cycle, 60 min on each X, Y and Z axis. Mounting: compliance with IEC60068-2-6. |
For this fanless design, the catalogue specifies an additional ambient-temperature derating of 3.5°C per 1000 m above 2000 m. This footnote does not state a maximum approved installation altitude.
