Options Description Heatsink (H) The PST14 is built as standard with a aluminum baseplate as described in the mechanical data. The converter can be delivered with a 15mm height heatsink with longitudinal fins (-H) or transversal fins (-H1). See page 15 for mechanical drawings. 3D models available on the web site. In case of using H or H1 option, the thermal impedance (Rth) of the heatsink mentioned below must be considered for the airflow or maximum power calculation. Conditions : 55°C ambiant, convection (0m/s vertical mounting) and 2m/s airflow: PST14A -H or H1: Rth@0m/s: 1,8°C/W, Rth@2m/s:...

Parallel and Series Connection A converter output can be connected in series with an output from a separate converter, an internal diode across each output is implemented internally. The maximum output current of a serial-connected outputs is limited by the output with the lowest current limit. Output voltages above 48V (SELV - Safety Extra Low Voltage) require additional safety measures in order to comply with international safety requirements. Parallel operation is possible with PST14 Mini & Maxi to increase output power (see below parallelling signal). Inrush : PST14B48-48250 No inrush limiting...

Auxiliary Functions Waveforms Output Noise (PST14B48-48250) Primary Inhibit (Remote On/Off) The inhibit input disables (logic low, pull down or short circuit between INH- and -IN) or enables (logic high TTL, pull up or open-circuit) the converter. This signal is referenced to the input voltage and will disable/ enable all outputs at the same time when inhibition & parallel cable is used. In systems consisting of several converters, this feature may be used to sequence the activation of the different converters if inhibition is used separately. Output Voltage Adjustment The converter output is...
