Allen-Bradley 1606-XLE240EN 240W Power Supply

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLE240EN Essential Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLE240EN belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL Essential series of switched-mode power supplies. This single-phase model converts 120V-class AC input into a stable 24V DC output rated at 240W. Panel builders use it for larger loads such as PLC racks, valve banks, and motor control relays. Moreover, the integrated DC OK relay contact gives technicians a simple status signal without extra hardware. The 1606-XLE240EN balances cost and capability for general industrial power distribution.

Technical Specifications

The output delivers 24V DC nominal with an adjustment range of 24 to 28V DC. Maximum output current reaches 10A, which yields the full 240W rating. Efficiency is 91.3 percent typical, keeping internal heat low. Ripple and noise stay at 50 mV maximum for clean power delivery. Additionally, a dynamic 120 percent power boost supports short inrush loads below +45 °C.

Input voltage is 100V AC nominal with an operational range of 90 to 132V AC at 50/60 Hz. Hold-up time exceeds 46 ms typical at 120V. Power factor is 0.57 typical. Furthermore, an NTC inrush current limiter controls startup surge. Screw terminals secure input and output wiring, while the DC OK relay contact reports output status. This model has no communication ports or protocols.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing measures 124 mm high, 60 mm wide, and 117 mm deep. Unit weight is 0.70 kg. Mounting supports both DIN rail and wall installation. The protection rating is IP20, so the unit belongs inside a cabinet. Operating temperature starts at 0 °C, and storage temperature starts at -25 °C. Relative humidity ranges from 5 to 95 percent non-condensing. Approvals include UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marking per the Bulletin 1606 standard.

Installation Guide

First, verify the incoming supply falls within the 90 to 132V AC input range. Next, mount the unit on a DIN rail or fasten it to a wall using the mounting holes. Then, connect input and output wires to the screw terminals and tighten them firmly. After that, wire the DC OK relay contact to your monitoring circuit if needed. Finally, adjust the output trim between 24 and 28V DC and confirm polarity before loading. Keep clearance around the housing for convection cooling.
