Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP72E Power Supply 72W

Allen-Bradley 1606-XLP72E Compact Power Supply

Product Introduction

The 1606-XLP72E belongs to the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 1606-XL series of compact switched-mode power supplies. This single-phase unit converts AC input into a stable 24V DC output rated at 72W. Industrial panels commonly use it to power sensors, relays, and control logic. Moreover, its slim 45 mm width saves valuable DIN rail space. The 1606-XLP72E suits machine builders and panel integrators who need reliable low-power conversion.

Technical Specifications

The output provides 24V DC nominal with an adjustment range of 24 to 28V DC. At 24V, the unit supplies a continuous 3A current. Efficiency reaches 89 percent typical, which reduces heat inside enclosures. Ripple and noise stay at 50 mV maximum, so sensitive loads receive clean power.

Input voltage uses manual selection between 100–120V AC and 220–240V AC nominal. The operational range covers 85–132V AC. Hold-up time exceeds 40 ms typical at 230V AC. Furthermore, spring clamp terminals simplify wiring and resist vibration. This model offers no power boost function, so size loads within the 3A continuous rating.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The housing measures 75 mm high, 45 mm wide, and 91 mm deep. Unit weight is 0.26 kg. Mounting options include DIN rail and wall mounting. The protection rating is IP20, which suits installation inside controlled cabinets. Operating temperature starts at -10 °C, while storage temperature starts at -40 °C. Relative humidity ranges from 5 to 95 percent non-condensing. Approvals include UL 60950-1, cUL, and CE marking.

Installation Guide

First, select the correct input voltage using the manual selector before applying power. Next, snap the unit onto a standard DIN rail or fix it to a wall with screws. Then, connect input and output wires to the spring clamp terminals. Confirm polarity at the output before energizing downstream devices. Finally, adjust the output trim to the required voltage between 24 and 28V DC. Allow free airflow around the housing during operation.

FAQ

Q1: What output current does the 1606-XLP72E deliver?
A: The unit provides 3A at 24V DC, giving a rated power of 72W.

Q2: Does this model include a communication interface?
A: No. It has no built-in ports or protocols, so it operates as a stand-alone supply.

Q3: How is the input voltage selected?
A: You select 100–120V AC or 220–240V AC manually before power-up.

Q4: Can the output voltage be adjusted above 24V?
A: Yes. The trim range extends from 24V to 28V DC.

Q5: What mounting options are available?
A: The unit supports both DIN rail mounting and direct wall mounting.
