Capacitive load (maximum) 1000 µF.
Voltage accuracy ±2%
Ripple and noise 100 mVp-p. Measured with 20 MHz bandwidth and a 12-inch twisted pair terminated by 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Line regulation ±0.5% from low to high input at rated load.
Load regulation ±0.5% (0–100% rated load).
Switching frequency 200 kHz typical
Input filter Pi-type input filter.
Specification conditions Nominal input 24 V DC, rated load, 25°C ambient and 70% RH unless otherwise specified.
Series efficiency reference The catalog family reaches up to 88%; use the model-specific typical efficiency above for this selection.

Protection and control

Input undervoltage lockout Start-up: 8.8 V DC; shutdown: 8 V DC (typical).
Overvoltage protection Output clamped by a TVS diode.
Remote ON/OFF Pin 1 (R.C.), referenced to −Vin: ON above 2.5 V DC within the specified range up to 30 V DC, or open; OFF below 1 V DC or shorted to −Vin.

Mechanical and environmental specifications

Parameter Specification
Dimensions 31.8 × 20.3 × 12.2 mm (L × W × H).

Mechanical installation DIP24 footprint; 2.54 mm grid, 15.24 mm between pin rows and 3.8 mm lead projection. Pin size: 0.8 ±0.1 mm. Use the model-specific bottom-view and top-view PCB drawings. PCB hole diameter: 1 mm (+0.2/−0).
Working environment −40 to +95°C with load derating; 20–90% RH, non-condensing.
Load derating Natural convection: 100% load through +50°C; derate to 50% at +80°C and 20% at +95°C.
Storage -40 to +125°C; 10–95% RH, non-condensing.
Temperature coefficient ±0.05%/°C maximum (0–95°C).
Case temperature +110°C maximum.
Soldering At 1.5 mm from the case: 260°C maximum for 3–5 s.
Vibration 10–500 Hz, 2 G, 10 minutes per cycle; 60 minutes along each X, Y and Z axis.
Catalog packing reference per unit 20 g, from the catalog PACKING entry; not a measured net weight.
Manufacturer packing 15 pieces per tube; this is the catalog packing arrangement.

Isolation, EMC and manufacturer information

Isolation withstand Input-to-output: 3 kV DC.
Isolation resistance Input-to-output: 1000 MΩ at 500 V DC, 25°C and 70% RH.
Isolation capacitance 1000 pF typical.
EMC emissions Conducted: not specified (N/A). BS EN/EN 55032 radiated Class A without additional components; Class B requires external components.
EMC immunity BS EN/EN 61000-4-2: Level 1, ±4 kV contact; -4-3: Level 2, 3 V/m; -4-4: Level 2, 0.5 kV; -4-5: Level 1, 0.5 kV line-to-line; -4-6: Level 2, 3 V (e.m.f.); -4-8: Level 1, 1 A/m.
Approval EAC TP TC 020/2011 approved.
System EMC Reconfirm EMC compliance in the final equipment. The component specification does not replace the complete system assessment.
EMC application circuit For radiated Class B, follow the catalog circuit: C1 and C2 = 2.2 µF / 100 V each; C3 and C4 are marked 102/5 kV each; L1 = 325 µH common-mode choke. All capacitors are ceramic. Verify the completed equipment.
MTBF >570 k hours typical per MIL-HDBK-217F at 25°C; not a service-life or warranty guarantee.
Manufacturer warranty reference The catalog states a 3-year manufacturer warranty; the manufacturer’s applicable terms govern.
