5. Physical Characteristics:

️· Compact size. (Specific dimensions are in the diagram on the datasheet and are given in both inches and millimeters).
️· Maximum case temperature is 105°C.
️· Operating Limits (Refer to 'Graph 2' in datasheet – includes operating temperature ranges).

6. Important Considerations:

️· Derating: The converter may need derating (reducing the maximum power output) under certain operating conditions, particularly at higher temperatures.
️· Short Circuit Protection: The converter is likely to have short-circuit protection, but the datasheet doesn't explicitly state this. Check the full datasheet for details.
️· Long-Term Operation into Short Circuit: Prolonged operation into a short circuit can compromise the unit's reliability.
