22.11. Mounting Orientations
Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top require a reduction in
continuous output power or a limitation in the maximal allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction
inuences the lifetime expectancy of the power supply. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous
operation can be found below:
Curve A1 Recommended output current.
Curve A2 Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
