Overview
The Sola 83-05-260-03 is a linear AC-DC power supply engineered for industrial control and automation systems. Manufactured by Sola Hevi-Duty (part of Emerson), this unit converts 120–240VAC input into a regulated 5VDC output at up to 6A, with input frequency tolerance of 47–63Hz. The open-frame design supports both bench and rack mounting, making it suitable for retrofit applications and distributed control architectures.
Key Features
- Stable 5VDC Output: Delivers clean, regulated 5V DC at 6A maximum current
- Wide Input Range: 120–240VAC, single-phase input for North American and international systems
- Frequency Tolerance: 47–63Hz ensures compatibility with varying AC line conditions
- Low Noise & Ripple: Low noise and ripple (pard), with ripple and noise typically limited to 0.1% peak-to-peak for signal integrity
- Protective Features: Features short circuit protection, automatic foldback current limiting, automatic reset, and isolated, floating output
- Compact Design: Open-frame construction for flexible mounting in control cabinets and enclosures
