Overview The FlatPAC-EN/EN MI is an ultra low profile switching power supply that provides up to 500 Watts from up to 4 isolated outputs. It operates on either 115 or 230 Vac nominal (47-63 Hz), or 250-380 Vdc. It can be populated with either VI-200/VI-J00 or Maxi/Mini/Micro Vicor converters.
2. For standard mounting (conduction cooling), use A1, A2, A3, A4, B1 and B2 mounting holes. 3. For a Vicor 2 Up FlatPAC retrofit replacement, use C1 and C2 as these two are identical to the recommended mounting holes on the FlatPAC.
FlatPAC-EN/EN MI Design Guide Technical Description The FlatPAC-EN/EN MI consists of an off-line single phase autoranging front end, EMI filter, customer interface, power supply control circuit, associated housekeeping circuits, a MiniHAM module and a selection of Vicor’s VI- 200/VI-J00 and/or Maxi/Mini/Micro DC-DC converters.
For standard mounting (conduction cooling), use A1, A2, A3, A4, B and B2 mounting holes. • For a Vicor 2 Up FlatPAC retrofit replacement, use C1 and C2 as these two are identical to the mounting holes on the FlatPAC.

USE CRIMP TOOL: MOLEX (11-01-0197) Note: The type of output connector a FlatPAC-EN has depends on which modules are used. E.g. if a two output configuration uses two half bricks (instead of a full brick and half brick) this two output configuration will have the 18 pin molex connectors, not stud connectors.
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.
The operating mode setting is stored in a non-volatile EEPROM and requires an REON or REOFF command in order to switch modes. The default mode setting from the factory is in Manual mode. The FlatPAC-EN has an operating mode indicator LED, which is viewable through the left side vent hole nearest the CBJ1 E/D Interface Connector.

2. Also see Output Power vs. Input Voltage charts on page 21. 3. Please note that FlatPAC-EN configurations that uses Molex outputs connectors are limited to 9A/pin (27A per output). This is a Molex connector limitation, NOT a module power limitation. Westcor’s online configuration tool (VSPOC) will not provide a FlatPAC-EN/EN MI solution for requirements that exceed the 27A limitation.
