| Case temperature |
Tcase −25 to +90°C; maximum +90°C at the designated tc point. This case-temperature limit is not an ambient-temperature rating. |
| Input/load derating |
At 60 Hz: 80% load at 100 VAC, rising to 100% at 110 VAC; 100% through 305 VAC. Apply the temperature and voltage limits together. |

| Strain relief |
Built-in configuration has no strain-relief caps. The catalog lists an optional strain-relief cap set with printed order reference 1**3XLC-SET; one bag contains 50 pieces, two pieces per set. Confirm the complete ordering reference and fit with MEAN WELL; the printed asterisks must not be expanded by guesswork. |
Use the drawing for this casing and control option. Match the LED load to the specified output, observe terminal polarity and conductor size, and provide the free-air-convection conditions used by the load curves. Check the tc point in the completed installation and requalify final-equipment EMC.
Catalog reference: XLC-40, pages 42–52 of the combined XLN/XLC PDF. Use the exact model, suffix and applicable wiring drawing when designing the installation.
