Compatibility & Replacements
The 1606-XLP72E is part of Allen-Bradley’s 1606 Bulletin power supply line, which is widely used in Rockwell Automation control systems. Direct drop-in replacement for failed or aging 1606-XLP units with identical form factor and connector pinout. Compatible with ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and legacy SLC 500 systems using standard 24V DC auxiliary power. For higher power requirements, consider the 1606-XLP100E (100W) or 1606-XLP150E (150W) variants.
