Protection and Recovery
| Item |
Specification / condition |
| Short-circuit protection |
Listed in the datasheet. |
| Overload threshold |
105–125 % of rated output power; Shut down output voltage; re-power on to recover. |
| Overvoltage threshold |
42–50 V; Shut down output voltage; re-power on to recover. |
| Overtemperature protection |
Shut down output voltage; automatically recovers after temperature goes down. |
| Overtemperature detection |
85 ±5°C at TSW1 on the power-transistor heatsink; this is not an ambient-temperature limit. |
The overload percentage is a protection threshold, not a specified timed peak-power rating. Do not size the load as though this percentage were an additional continuous output capability.
Cooling and Control Connections
Forced-air cooling is provided by a built-in DC fan.
Remote sensing is provided at CN4: pin 1 is +S and pin 2 is -S.

Mating Connectors and Ordering Details

JST B-XH or equivalent |
| Mating housing reference, as printed |
JST XHP or equivalent |
| Contact reference, as printed |
JST SXH-001T or equivalent |
| Connector positions |
2 |
The CN4 remote-sense connector is listed as JST B-XH or equivalent, with a JST XHP mating-housing reference and JST SXH-001T contact reference. The port has two positions. One matching two-position housing and two suitable contacts populate the port; confirm the complete ordering variants for the selected wires.
The housing/contact quantities above describe the connection needed to populate the port, not an included accessory kit. Inclusion of mating parts is not stated in this datasheet. Use the printed references to confirm exact compatible ordering variants; do not treat a wildcard or abbreviated family reference as a complete contact order code.
Dimensions, Mounting and Wiring

Housing dimensions are 247 × 127 × 63.5 mm (L × W × H), with drawing tolerance ±1 mm. The mounting drawings mark M3 fixing holes as 4-M3, L=4 mm; follow the illustrated hole positions. Terminal projections are marked 14 mm max. at the input end and 17 mm max. at the output end. Input terminals 1/2/3 are L/N/FG; output terminals 1–3 are +V and 4–6 are -V. This model uses a manual 230/115 VAC input-range selector.
Case dimensions are separate from terminal projections and the space needed for wiring. Mounting-hole callouts describe the drawing, not supplied screw quantities. Use the full drawing for hole locations and any stated thread-depth limits.

The input-voltage static-characteristics graph is specified at 60 Hz. Values above are the labelled curve points for this model, not a replacement for the complete curves. Apply temperature and input-voltage derating together; consult the original graphs between labelled points. The rightmost plotted input label does not replace the specified operating range.
For operation above 2,000 m, apply the datasheet ambient-temperature derating of 5°C per additional 1,000 m for fan-cooled models.
Keep the illustrated fan-airflow path clear. The catalog temperature-derating curves are specified for horizontal mounting.
The altitude note gives an additional temperature derating above 2,000 m; this datasheet does not state a maximum operating altitude.

The listed approvals and design references reflect this datasheet revision and model scope. They do not certify a complete end product or remove installation and application restrictions.
The datasheet states that this supply does not meet EN 61000-3-2 harmonic-current requirements. It excludes use in end equipment in the European Union connected to public mains rated 220 VAC or higher when the end equipment has average or continuous input power above 75 W, or when the supply forms part of a lighting system. The listed exceptions are professional equipment with total rated input power above 1,000 W, and symmetrically controlled heating elements rated at 200 W or less.
