FlatPAC-EN/EN MI Design Guide
Interface Connections
Chassis Input Power Terminals (MBJ1)
Input AC power is applied through connector MBJ1 using Molex mating connector 39-01-4051. Use 16 AWG
wire with Molex Socket Pin 39-00-0090 and Crimp Tool 11-01-0199.
A fault clearing device, such as a fuse or circuit breaker, with a maximum 9A rating at the power supply input is
required for safety agency compliance. It should be sized to handle the start-up inrush current of 8.5A peak at 115
Vac or 17A peak at 230 Vac.
Output Power Connections
There are two types of output power terminals available in the FlatPAC-EN. Each slot has one of the following
configurations: either 10-32 plated steel bolts or an 18 pin Molex connector (The type of output connector a
FlatPAC-EN has depends on which modules are used. See page 6 and 11. Molex connectors are limited to 9A/pin,
27A per output) The positive polarity of the stud output termination is the right bolt when viewed from the output
end. Each power output is isolated, so outputs of positive or negative polarity can be configured through proper
selection of the output reference terminal.
In order to minimize parasitic cable inductance and reduce EMI, the output power cables should be routed in close
proximity to one another, and large current loops should be avoided. To avoid excessive voltage drop, do not
undersize power cables, especially for high current outputs. Do not bulk input AC wires with the output wires
because this can couple output noise into the input wires which can increase EMI. Excessive cable inductance
coupled with large capacitive loading can introduce instability in switching power supplies. This problem can be
avoided with proper system design. Consult Vicor’s Applications Engineering Department for assistance with
applications that use long cable lengths and excessive load capacitance.
