Product Information

Full details

The Finder 78 series switching power supply is an ideal solution for industrial automation professionals and panel builders who require a reliable, space-efficient 24V DC power source. Its primary benefit is a slim 17.5mm profile that maximizes limited rail space while maintaining stable performance across a wide input voltage range; however, users should note that the device is limited to a 12W maximum power output, which may not be suitable for high-load applications.

FAQs

What is the maximum output current?

The power supply provides a maximum output current of 0.5A.

Can this unit be mounted in any orientation?

It is designed primarily for DIN rail mounting; verify the installation manual for specific clearance requirements to ensure proper heat dissipation.

Is this power supply suitable for outdoor use?

No. The device has an IP20 rating, meaning it is not protected against water or extreme environmental elements and must be installed in an enclosure.

What input voltages are supported?

The unit accepts 110-240V AC or 220V DC.

What is the operating temperature range?

The operating temperature range is -20 to 60 degrees Celsius.

Is the output voltage adjustable?

No, the output is fixed at 24V DC.

Troubleshooting

No output voltage detected

Verify that the AC/DC input voltage is within the specified range (110-240V AC) and check that all input and output connections are secure.

Device is overheating during operation

Ensure that the total load connected does not exceed the 12W/0.5A limit and verify there is adequate airflow around the unit within the cabinet.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-compact 17.5mm footprint saves valuable panel space
  • Wide input voltage compatibility for international flexibility
  • Easy and secure DIN rail installation
  • Robust screw-terminal connections

Cons

  • Limited to 12W power output
  • IP20 rating is not suitable for harsh, wet, or dusty environments
  • Fixed 24V output does not allow for voltage adjustment

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation should be performed by a qualified professional according to local electrical codes.

  1. Mounting: Snap the unit onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. Ensure it is clicked firmly into place to maintain grounding continuity.
  2. Wiring: Use appropriately sized stranded or solid wire for the screw terminals. Tighten the screws to the recommended torque to ensure a low-resistance connection.
  3. Compatibility: Ensure the total current draw of your connected devices does not exceed 0.5A (12W). Calculate the total power consumption before installation.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly inspect the connections for any signs of loosening due to thermal expansion or vibration. Clean the exterior with a dry cloth; do not use liquids or solvents, as the device is rated IP20 and is not water-resistant.
