The 1606-XLS180B power supply is a power supply that supports the switched mode. It is designed and manufactured by Allen-Bradley. This high-efficiency SMPS is widely used in industrial automation settings where constant and efficient power distribution is necessary, such as in PLCs, microprocessors, PC stations, and in sensitive electronic equipment. The 1606-XLS180B power supply is a single-phase product that has a wide input voltage range of 100 to 240 Volts DC. With AC voltage applied, the expected input frequency is 47 to 63 Hertz. This unit also accepts 110 to 150 Volts DC voltage at the input side. The rated input current is 1.65 Amps at 120 Volts AC and it is 0.93 Amps at 230 Volts AC. This is a 12 Volts DC rated switched-mode power supply that delivers 15 Amps of current continually, which is enough for 180 Watts rated circuits to receive a well-regulated power supply.

The Allen-Bradley 1606-XLS180B power supply is immune to transients and power surges. Usually, power supplies generate a considerable amount of electromagnetic emission, but this unit is acceptable in nearly every industrial environment because of its low interference level. The output ripple value for this device is less than 50mVpp. The typical efficiency rating of the device is 91.5% with only 15.3 Watts of power loss. According to the Siemens methodology, this power supply unit has an average of more than 577,000 hours of time between failures, making it a very reliable device. The operating temperature range of this power supply is -25 to 70 degrees Celsius. The 1606-XLS180B power supply has an IP 20 rated enclosure and compact design.
