Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Series AC from Pico Electronics are isolated AC to DC power supplies with integrated power factor correction, capable of delivering up to 300W in a compact full brick size of 4.6” x 2.5” x 0.8”. They offer output voltage models ranging from 5V to 300V, combining a front-end PFC module with an isolated low voltage output to save space.

Features
  • Power factor of 0.99 for single-phase (AC1) and 0.95 for three-phase (AC3) inputs.
  • Compliance with EN/IEC 610000-3-2 standards.
  • Output power of 300W with input/output isolation and regulated output models from 5V to 300V.
  • Operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C with optional screening per MIL-STD-883.
  • Input frequency range of 360-800Hz.

Specifications
Input: Single-phase input voltage range is 85-265 VAC, and three-phase is 166-250 VAC. Input frequency ranges from 47 to 440 Hz.
Output: Line regulation is ±0.2%, with output power varying by model. Operating temperature range is 0 to +85°C, with storage from -55 to +105°C.
General: Power factor is 0.99 for AC1 and 0.95 for AC3 models. Isolation voltage is 4242 VDC from input to output.

Protections & Features
  • Output current limit set at 130%.
  • Continuous short circuit protection with auto-recovery.
  • Overtemperature protection activates between 90-100°C.

Options Available
  • Stabilization bake, temperature cycle, and burn-in tests per MIL-STD-883.
  • Expanded operating temperature range from -55°C to +85°C.

Thermal Management
Thermal resistance varies with airflow, with detailed specifications for different heat sink configurations.

Mechanical Drawings
Includes detailed pin functions and dimensions for both AC1 and AC3 models, with specific notes on installation and external capacitor requirements.

Warranty
Pico Electronics provides a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship, with limitations on liability for consequential damages.

Series AC-1

The AC series are isolated AC to DC power supplies with integrated power factor correction. The space saving 4.6” x 2.5" x 0.8" full brick can power up to 300W. Output voltage models ranges from 5V to 300V. The combination of front end PFC module and isolated low voltage output saves space -one module instead of two modules. • Single or three phase input • 300W output power in a full brick size • Input/output isolation • Regulated 5V to 300V output models • Output sense feature • Fixed operating frequency Contact Pico for part number of available options: • Expanded operating temp: -40°C to +85°C Stabilization Bake Temperature Cycle Burn-In • Special Input Voltage, Output Voltage, or Output Power *AC3, Three Phase input only.
