1606-XLP100E-2 100W 24V DC Power Supply Allen-Bradley

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLP100E-2 is a compact switched-mode power supply from the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL family. Specifically, this model belongs to the 1606-XLP series, which prioritizes a small footprint for space-constrained control cabinets. It accepts a two-phase or three-phase AC input at 380–480 V, a common configuration in European and Asian industrial installations. Engineers choose this unit when panel depth and rail space are limited but a stable 24 V DC rail is still required.

Technical Specifications

The 1606-XLP100E-2 delivers a nominal 24 V DC output with a rated current of 4.2 A. Additionally, the output voltage is adjustable from 24 to 28 V to compensate for line drops. Rated power sits at 100 W, and typical efficiency reaches 89.5%. Ripple and noise stay below 50 mVpp, which suits sensitive control electronics. Furthermore, the unit provides overload and short-circuit protection. The adjustable output range also allows current derating from 4.2 A down to 3.6 A as voltage rises.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Physical integration is efficient thanks to the compact housing. Dimensions measure 75 × 73 × 103 mm, and the unit weighs only 360 g. Moreover, spring terminals speed up wiring and resist vibration loosening. The operating temperature range spans -10 to +70 °C. Relative humidity tolerance stays below 95%, and the storage lower bound reaches -40 °C. For safety, the unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE approvals. The 1606-XLP100E-2 also offers an IP20 protection rating for DIN rail or enclosure mounting.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the available supply is 380–480 V AC two-phase or three-phase before wiring. Next, snap the unit onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the enclosure. Then, strip the conductors and insert them into the spring terminals until they seat firmly. After that, connect the output load and verify polarity. Finally, adjust the output potentiometer to the required setpoint within the 24–28 V range. Always de-energize the circuit before starting work.

FAQ

Q1: What input voltage does the 1606-XLP100E-2 accept?
A: It accepts a nominal 380–480 V AC two-phase or three-phase input, which suits high-voltage industrial distribution systems.

Q2: Is the output voltage adjustable on this model?
A: Yes. The output adjusts from 24 to 28 V through the front potentiometer, and current derates from 4.2 A to 3.6 A accordingly.

Q3: Does the 1606-XLP100E-2 have communication ports?
A: No. This is a standalone power supply with no built-in ports and no communication protocol support.

Q4: What terminal style does the unit use?
A: It uses spring terminals. These accept stripped conductors and hold them securely without screw tightening.

Q5: What is the typical efficiency of the 1606-XLP100E-2?
A: Typical efficiency is 89.5%, which keeps heat generation low inside compact enclosures.
