1606-XLS80E | Allen Bradley | 1606 Switched Mode Power Supply

Product Overview

The Allen Bradley 1606-XLS80E operates as a high-efficiency, switched-mode power supply within the Performance 1606 product line. This compact instrument rectifies incoming wide-range alternating current (100–240V AC) into stable, adjustable direct current to power sensitive industrial electronics. It delivers a continuous 80W output to drive PLC processors, I/O modules, HMI terminals, and field sensors safely. We guarantee this power supply unit arrives in 100% brand new, original factory-sealed condition.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Efficiency Minimal Heat Footprint: Advanced synchronous rectification topology ensures minimal internal heat generation during full-load operation. This high efficiency prevents hot spots inside sealed enclosures, allowing engineers to pack adjacent DIN rail components closer together without risking localized thermal degradation.

• Vibration-Proof Spring Clamp Termination: The input and output power paths utilize rugged spring clamp terminal blocks instead of traditional screws. This design eliminates the risk of terminal loosening from low-frequency machinery vibrations, preventing high-resistance arcing and cutting routine panel maintenance down to zero.

• Universal Voltage Input Adaptation: The internal frontend circuitry auto-ranges across a broad 100–240V AC input spectrum. This flexibility allows machine builders to export standard control panels globally without adding bulky step-down transformers or manual voltage selector switches.

• Real-Time Diagnostic DC-OK Monitoring: The built-in DC-OK status circuit actively monitors the output bus voltage. It triggers an internal solid-state relay contact to feed status signals directly to a PLC input card, enabling immediate automated process shutdown if field shorts drop the voltage below critical operating thresholds.

FAQs

• Does this 1606-XLS80E power supply arrive in original factory packaging?

  Yes. We ship this power supply as a 100% brand new, authentic factory-sealed unit. It comes directly inside its original Rockwell Automation box with the manufacturer packaging inserts, untouched factory barcodes, and installation guide booklets intact.

• Can I adjust the output voltage, or does it remain fixed at 24V DC?

  The unit features an adjustable output trimmer potentiometer accessible from the front faceplate. This allows you to dial the output voltage slightly higher or lower than the nominal level to compensate for voltage drops over exceptionally long field cable runs.

• How does this unit mount inside an electrical control enclosure?

  The rear of the compact housing incorporates a heavy-duty, integrated mounting lever. You can snap the power supply directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails horizontally. Always maintain the specified clearance above and below the housing ventilation slots to maximize natural convection cooling.

• What are the wiring benefits of spring clamp terminals over screw terminals?

  Spring clamps exert continuous, constant tension on the copper wire regardless of time, temperature cycling, or physical panel shock. This mechanical design speeds up initial cabinet wiring by removing the requirement to torque terminal screws with hand tools.
