Usage Instructions
During welding, carefully refer to the pin definitions to avoid incorrect connections. When in use, both input and output terminals must be connected to nearby filter capacitors, with capacities no less than 10 μF.
Be careful not to connect the power supply in reverse or cause a short circuit between the input/output terminals, as this may damage the circuit.
Necessary ESD protection measures should be implemented to prevent electrostatic damage.
