➀ These power converters require a minimum 10% loading to maintain specified regulation.
Operation under no-load conditions will not damage these devices, however, they may
not meet all listed specifications.
➁ These power converters do not have internal input filters and do require external input
and output capacitors to achieve rated specifications. Application-specific internal input/
output filtering can be added upon request. Contact DATEL for details.
➂ On/Off Control pins are included on "D5" models only. See Technical Notes for details.
Applying a voltage to the Control pin when no input power is applied to the converter can
cause permanent damage to the converter.
➃ Cases can be provided with 6-sided shielding. Contact DATEL for details.
