Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP15E 15W 24V DC Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLP15E is an ultra-compact switched-mode power supply from the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL family. Specifically, it belongs to the 1606-XLP series, which emphasizes a narrow footprint for small enclosures. This model supplies only 15 W, so it suits sensors, relays, and small control devices. It accepts a single-phase 100–240 V AC input, and it also tolerates a 110–300 V DC input. Engineers choose this unit where rail space is scarce but a stabilized 24 V DC rail is still essential.

Technical Specifications

The 1606-XLP15E delivers a nominal 24 V DC output with a rated current of 0.63 A. Additionally, the output voltage is adjustable from 24 to 28 V for fine trimming. Rated power sits at 15 W, and typical efficiency reaches 85.1%. Ripple and noise stay below 50 mVpp, which protects sensitive sensor electronics. Furthermore, the unit provides a stabilized output that holds steady under load changes. As voltage rises across the adjustment range, current derates from 0.63 A to 0.54 A.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The slim housing measures only 75 × 45 × 91 mm, and the unit weighs just 130 g. Moreover, screw terminals provide secure connections for small conductors. The operating temperature range spans -10 to +70 °C, which covers most indoor control cabinets. For safety, the unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE approvals. The 1606-XLP15E also offers an IP20 protection rating for DIN rail or enclosure mounting.

Installation Guide

First, confirm the available supply is within the 100–240 V AC or 110–300 V DC input range. Next, snap the unit onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the enclosure. Then, connect the input conductors to the screw terminals and tighten them firmly. After that, wire the 24 V DC output to the load with correct 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-XLP15E accept?
A: It accepts a nominal 100–240 V AC single-phase input, and it also tolerates a 110–300 V DC input.

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 0.63 A to 0.54 A.

Q3: Does the 1606-XLP15E 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 screw terminals. These accept small stripped conductors and hold them securely with a firm tightening.

Q5: What is the typical efficiency of the 1606-XLP15E?
A: Typical efficiency is 85.1%, which keeps heat generation low inside compact enclosures.
