Mounting orientations

Mounting orientations other than all terminals on the bottom require a reduction in continuous output power or a limitation in the maximum allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction influences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous operation can be found below:

Curve A1: Recommended output current.
Curve A2: Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).

Mounting orientations 1:
Mounting position A (standard mounting position)
Mounting orientations 2:
Mounting position B (upside down)
Mounting orientations 3:
Mounting position C (table-top mounting)
Mounting orientations 4:
Mounting position D (horizontal clockwise)
Mounting orientations 5:
Mounting position E (horizontal counterclockwise)
