The AIM (Alternating Input Module) is an AC front-end module which interfaces directly with worldwide AC mains.
The AIM provides line rectification, EMI/RFI filtering, transient protection and inrush limiting in a half-brick package measuring 2.28" x 2.4" x 0.5".

The AIM is used in conjunction with VI-200 or VI-J00 series DC-DC converters to realize a universal AC input, high-density, low-profile switching power supply with outputs from 1 – 95 Vdc and a total power rating up to 200 W.
An external capacitor is used to satisfy system hold-up requirements. Internal EMI filtering meets EN55022 and FCC
Part 15, Class A emissions limits.
