GM6-PAFA

Description

AC input power supply for GM6 series. Typical spec listing for GM6-PAFA is AC 85–264 V input with outputs such as 5 VDC (~2 A) and a small 24 VDC rail (~0.3 A) depending on SKU/version and OEM table.

The Polar Energy Assessment:

The GM6-PAFA is a standard AC power module option in the GM6 family used for general purpose power where modest 5 V rail capacity is adequate (commonly listed as ~5 V at 2 A plus a small 24 V auxiliary rail on some SKUs). LS OEM tables include PAFA in the family of AC power modules alongside PA2A, PAFB and PAFC, and the manual highlights which power module to select when analog modules are part of the configuration (PAFB / PDFB recommended for analog use).

Pros

• General purpose AC power module suitable for lightly populated racks and many standard digital module mixes.
• Broad AC input range (some listings show 85–264 VAC) making it tolerant of global mains.

Limitations

• Lower 5 V capacity than PA2A; not suitable for very dense racks without checking totals.
• For analog modules you may need a PA module that provides ±15 V rails (PAFB / PDFB).

Typical use cases

• Smaller GM6 racks or mid-density configurations where a 5 V @ ~2 A rail is adequate; remote panels with limited module count and general digital I/O mixes.
