The power of the CX1020-N031 comes directly from the system bus that works in integration with the CX1100-xxxx power supply modules, so it provides reliable and stable power. Its dimension is small, only 19 mm x 100 mm x 51 mm, as well as weighing about 80 g this device is to be placed in cramped areas because of non-weight loading in the system. The module is designed to operate in rugged environments, and the operating temperature can be in the range of 0…+55°C. The module can safely be left at a temperature in the range of -25…+85°C. It accounts for standards of vibration and shock by EN 60068-2-6 and EN 60068-2-27. Moreover, it also complies with the standards under EN 61000-6-2 and EN 61000-6-4 for immunity and emission concerning EMC, respectively eliminating all forms of disturbances during its operation.
