A module for dimming current-controlled LEDs, typically power LED chips.
The supply voltage (the power supply used) from 4.5 to 48 V should be selected with regard to the LED light sources used.
The greater the difference between the power supply voltage and the voltage of the LED lights, the greater the power loss of the module and the bigger the problem with cooling.
E.g. if there are two power chips (1,000 mA) with a loss of approx. 3 V per chip connected in series to each output, with maximum current at 700 mA and power input approx. 2.1 W per chip, it is sufficient to power the module from a 12 VDC, 4.5 A supply, e.g. the MeanWell DR-60-12. For a similar example, see Chapter 6.4.2 An example of dimming power LED CREE chips using the C-DM-0006M-ILED module.
The outputs for LED light sources have a common positive power pole (anode) labelled as LED +.
It is necessary to keep the maximum current of a single terminal at 10 A in LED+ outputs.
For an example of connecting the module, see Chapter 6.4.1 Dimming LED with the rated currents: 150, 350, 500 or 700 mA.
