Model and output specifications

Output voltage 5 V DC.
Rated output current 4000 mA.
Series power and load limit 20 W series. Observe both the model’s output-current limit and the total power limit; the series wattage does not override a lower current-limited output.
Minimum load No minimum load is required.
Voltage accuracy ±1.5%
Line regulation ±0.2%; low-to-high input at rated load.
Load regulation ±0.5%, measured over 0–100% load.
Ripple and noise 60 mVp-p. Measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Switching frequency 350 kHz typical.
Maximum capacitive load 4000 µF.

Input, control and protection

Input voltage 18–75 V DC; 4:1 range; nominal input 48 V.
Input current 25 mA at no load; 465 mA at full load.
Typical efficiency 89% at nominal input and rated load.
Input filter and fuse Pi filter; recommended external 2 A time-delay fuse. Size and coordinate the fuse for the application.
Input surge withstand 100 V DC for 100 ms maximum.
Input undervoltage protection Start-up 17 V; shutdown 16 V.
Overload protection 110–160% of rated output power; automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Short-circuit protection Continuous short-circuit protection with automatic recovery.
Output overvoltage protection Clamp by diode.
Remote ON/OFF Referenced to −Vin: >5.5–75 V or open circuit turns the output ON; <1.2 V or a short circuit turns it OFF.
Output adjustment Typical adjustment range: ±10% using the specified trim circuit. Trim to −Vout raises the output; Trim to +Vout lowers it. Stay within the output ratings.
Trim reference values R1 2.32 kΩ; R2 2.32 kΩ; R3 0 kΩ; Rt 8.2 kΩ; Vref 2.5 V. Use the manufacturer’s trim circuit and formulas.

Operating conditions and isolation

Operating temperature and cooling −40 to +85°C; free-air convection. Apply the load-derating limits.
Load derating Full load through 73°C; 60% load at 85°C. Apply the curve within the specified working-temperature range.
Maximum case temperature 105°C.
Working humidity 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Storage conditions −55 to +125°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing.
Temperature coefficient ±0.03%/°C over 0–71°C.
Vibration 10–500 Hz, 2G; 10 minutes per cycle for 60 minutes along each of the X, Y and Z axes.
Reference test conditions Nominal input, rated load, 25°C and 70% RH, unless otherwise stated.
Input-to-output withstand voltage 1.5 kV DC.
Isolation resistance 100 MΩ.
Isolation capacitance 1000 pF typical.

Mechanical design and installation

Dimensions 50.8 × 25.4 × 10.2 mm (L × W × H).
Case construction Fully encapsulated metal case; black-coated copper with a non-conductive base.
Pin assignment 1 +Vin; 2 −Vin; 3 +Vout; 4 Trim; 5 −Vout; 6 Remote ON/OFF. Check the bottom-view orientation before PCB assembly.
Mechanical drawing details Lead length 5.6 mm minimum. Drawing tolerances: x.x ±0.5 mm; x.xx ±0.25 mm. Check the exact F/G or H footprint; the drawing and note differ on pin diameter, so confirm the supplied pin dimensions before finalizing PCB holes.
Unit weight reference 35 g, explicitly stated as a catalog packing reference per unit.
Soldering 1–3 seconds at 260°C maximum, measured 1.5 mm from the case.

EMC and manufacturer references

Safety and catalog references EAC TP TC 020/2011 and TP TC 004/2011 approved; CE and UKCA shown in the catalog.
EMC emission BS EN/EN 55032 Class A / Class B performance depends on the applicable external circuit below.
EMC immunity IEC/BS EN/EN 61000-4-2: 8 kV air / 4 kV contact, Level 2; -4-3: 3 V/m, Level 2; -4-4: 0.5 kV, Level 1; -4-5: 0.5 kV line-to-line, Level 1; -4-6: 3 V emf, Level 2.
MTBF reference 720 khrs to MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C; a reliability reference, not a service-life guarantee.
Manufacturer warranty reference The catalog states a 3-year manufacturer warranty.
Railway application EN 50155 references include EN 61373 shock/vibration and EN 50121-3-2 EMC. Apply the model-specific external circuitry and verify the complete system.
EMC configuration Conducted Class A without external components. The Class B reference circuit uses C1 220 µF/100 V PW, C2/C3 1000 pF/2 kV, L1 0.15 mH and L2 1.2 mH. Verify the completed equipment.
