Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP25A 5V Power Supply

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP25A 25W Compact 5V Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLP25A belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL compact power supply family. This unit delivers a nominal 5V DC output at 25W rated power. Engineers select it for logic circuits, sensors, and small electronic loads needing a dedicated 5V rail.

The compact housing saves DIN rail space in crowded enclosures. Additionally, spring terminals speed up wiring during commissioning. The unit carries UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE approvals for global deployment.

Technical Specifications

The 1606-XLP25A accepts both AC and DC input for flexible installation. Specifically, AC input spans 100...240V nominal, while DC input covers 110...300V.

Output voltage is 5V DC nominal and adjusts from 5...5.5V. Output current reaches 5A nominal across the full range. Meanwhile, typical efficiency sits at 80.0%, which suits low-power loads where heat generation stays modest.

The stabilized output maintains tight regulation under varying load conditions. Moreover, spring terminals simplify field wiring without screw torque checks. No communication ports exist on this unit. Therefore, it serves purely as a power conversion device without protocol support.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

Dimensions measure 45 × 75 × 91 mm (W×H×D). The compact housing fits standard DIN rail layouts, and the unit weighs approximately 240 g without packaging.

Operating temperature ranges from -10 to +70°C. Rockwell does not publish storage temperature or humidity figures for this model. Besides thermal limits, the IP20 protection rating suits enclosed cabinet mounting only.

Installation Guide

First, verify the DIN rail is clean and securely fastened inside the cabinet. Next, snap the 1606-XLP25A onto the rail until the latch clicks. Then connect input wiring to the spring terminals per the terminal diagram.

After wiring, set the output voltage using the front adjustment potentiometer. Specifically, turn the screw until a meter reads the target value between 5V and 5.5V. Finally, verify polarity before connecting sensitive loads.

Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit. Moreover, keep clearance above and below the housing for convection cooling. Confirm the load current stays within the 5A rating to avoid thermal shutdown.

FAQ

Q1: What loads suit the 1606-XLP25A best?
A: This supply suits 5V logic circuits, sensors, and small electronic devices. Specifically, it works well where a dedicated low-voltage rail is needed.

Q2: Can the output voltage be adjusted above 5V?
A: Yes. The potentiometer adjusts output from 5V to 5.5V. This range compensates for voltage drops across long cable runs.

Q3: Does this unit accept DC input?
A: Yes. It supports 110...300V DC input in addition to AC mains. Therefore, it fits battery-backed and DC bus applications.

Q4: What is the efficiency of this power supply?
A: Typical efficiency is 80.0%. Since the load is only 25W, heat generation remains manageable in most enclosures.

Q5: Does this power supply include communication ports?
A: No. The 1606-XLP25A has no communication interface. It operates as a standalone power conversion unit without protocol support.
