RIENTATIONS
 
Mounting orientations other than input terminals on the bottom and output on the top require a reduction in 
continuous output power or a limitation in the max. allowed ambient temperature. The amount of reduction 
influences the lifetime expectancy of the DC/DC converter. Therefore, two different derating curves for continuous 
operation can be found below: 
Curve A1 
Recommended output current. 
Curve A2 
Max allowed output current (results in approximately half the lifetime expectancy of A1).
