Model and Selection

Complete model PPT-125C.
Series and format PPT-125 triple-output, 5-inch × 3-inch open-frame power supply.

EMC tests use a 360 × 360 mm metal plate, 1 mm thick. Reconfirm compliance in the completed equipment with its actual wiring and mounting; component approvals do not certify the complete system.

Weight and Reliability

Single-unit catalogue reference weight 370 g from the explicit per-unit PACKING value; a catalogue reference rather than measured net or shipping weight.
Packing reference 0.37 kg per unit; 36 pieces / 14.3 kg / 0.96 CUFT.
