Model and output specifications

Output voltage 12 V DC.
Rated output current 3.333 A.
Series power and load limit 40 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 ±1.0%
Line regulation ±0.2%; low-to-high input at rated load.
Load regulation ±0.5%, measured over 0–100% load.
Ripple and noise 100 mVp-p. Measured at 20 MHz bandwidth with a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Switching frequency 250 kHz typical.
Maximum capacitive load 3900 µF.

Input, control and protection

Input voltage 40–160 V DC; 4:1 range; nominal input 110 V.
Input current 10 mA at no load; 0.5 A 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 200 V DC for 100 ms maximum.
Input undervoltage protection 34 V.
Overload protection 125–210% 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: >3–12 V or open circuit turns the output ON; <1.2 V or a short circuit turns it OFF.
Overtemperature protection Case temperature 110°C maximum is specified; no separate restart threshold is stated.
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 Vref 2.5 V; R1 38 kΩ; R2 10 kΩ; R3 68 kΩ. Use the manufacturer’s trim formulas with resistances in kΩ.

Operating conditions and isolation

Operating temperature and cooling −40 to +90°C; free-air convection. Apply the load-derating limits.
Load derating Full load through 50°C; 50% at 70°C; 25% at 85°C. The H-version curve ends at 85°C.
Maximum case temperature 110°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.
