Description

The AIM (Alternating Input Module) is an AC front-end module which interfaces directly with worldwide AC mains. The AIM provides line rectification, EMI/RFI filtering, transient protection and inrush limiting in a half-brick package measuring 2.28″ x 2.4″ x 0.5″.

The AIM is used in conjunction with VI-200 or VI-J00 series DC-DC converters to realize a universal AC input, high-density, low-profile switching power supply with outputs from 1 – 95 Vdc and a total power rating up to 200 W. An external capacitor is used to satisfy system hold-up requirements. Internal EMI filtering meets EN55022 and FCC Part 15, Class A emissions limits.

Input Voltage:
  • 85 – 264 Vac
Output Power(per module):
  • 250 W
Output Voltage:
  • Rectified AC line voltage (non-isolated)
Efficiency:
  • up to 97%
Dimensions(half brick):
  • 2.28″ x 2.4″ x 0.5″(57,9 x 61,0 x 12,7 mm)

  • Universal input: 85 to 264 Vac
  • Integral EMI filtering
  • Input transient protection
  • Inrush limiting
