All parameters are specified at an input voltage of 24V, 10A output load, 25°C ambient and after a 5 minutes run-in time unless noted otherwise.
It is assumed that the input power source can deliver a sufficient output current.

The Lifetime expectancy shown in the table indicates the operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specied in operational hours.
Lifetime expectancy is calculated according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specication. The prediction model allows
a calculation of up to 15 years from date of shipment.
MTBF
stands for Mean Time Between Failures which is calculated according to statistical device failures and indicates
reliability of a device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of failure of a unit and does not necessarily
represent the life of a product.
