Physical Construction and Component Layout

This TSXPSY1610 power supply module measures 5.1 inches in height. Its width reaches 4.0 inches with a depth of 3.6 inches. The total weight comes to approximately 1.18 pounds. Manufacturers placed 98 discrete components inside this compact metal housing. These components include transformers, rectifiers, filter capacitors, and a PWM controller. A ventilated case allows passive cooling without moving parts.

Output Rails and Protection Features

TSXPSY1610 provides two isolated DC output voltages for PLC operation. The +5V rail delivers up to 4 amps for logic circuits. A dedicated +24V rail supplies 0.5 amps for auxiliary loads. Total continuous output power reaches 30 watts maximum. Each output includes short-circuit and overcurrent protection circuits. The module also features overtemperature shutdown for safety. Consequently, this power supply protects your PLC system from electrical faults.

Input Flexibility and Energy Storage

The power supply accepts universal AC input from 100V to 240V automatically. An NTC thermistor limits inrush current during power application. This thermistor prevents nuisance tripping of upstream breakers. For energy storage, the module integrates one 820µF capacitor. Two additional 470µF capacitors filter each output rail separately. Hold-up time reaches 15 milliseconds at full rated load. Therefore, the TSXPSY1610 tolerates short grid disturbances effectively.

Efficiency and Application Use

TSXPSY1610 achieves 78% typical efficiency across the load range. Natural convection cooling keeps the module silent and reliable. You will find this unit in Modicon TSX Micro PLC racks. It powers CPU, I/O, and communication modules in small systems. The unit operates reliably from 0°C to 55°C ambient. For example, it suits conveyor controls, packaging lines, or small workcells. Therefore, this power supply provides compact energy for basic automation tasks.
