The MINI-PS-120-230 AC/24 V d.c./0,65 power supply unit from Phoenix Contact has a width of only 22,5 mm and is particularly suitable for places where space is limited. The primary switched-mode regulator can be driven from any standard AC or DC network, facilitating worldwide usage.
The stabilised 24 V d.c. output is fitted with electronic overload and short-circuit protection and supplies a current of 650 mA at ambient temperatures of up to 60°C. Even in unsteady global networks with voltage dips of up to 20 ms, the full output power is always available. A steady current of 1,2 (0,95) A is available for an input voltage of 230 (120) V with an ambient temperature of <30°C. Capacitive loads are easily accommodated.
