Introduction
For years, MEAN WELL’s DC-DC converter modules — including the single output SCWN03/06, SCW08/12/20 and dual output DCWN03/06, DCW08/12 — have been widely trusted across industries such as power systems, telecommunications, instrumentation, industrial automation, and IoT. With annual shipments in the hundreds of thousands, these converters are proven solutions for reliable power conversion.
Building on this success, MEAN WELL now introduces the next-generation W8 series:
- Single output models: SCWN03W8 / SCWN06W8 / SCW08W8 / SCW12W8 / SCW20W8
- Dual output models: DCWN03W8 / DCWN06W8 / DCW08W8 / DCW12W8 / DCW20W8
Key Advancements
The W8 series features an ultra-wide 8:1 input range (9~75Vdc), enabling a single model to cover conventional 12V, 24V, and 48V DC sources. This eliminates the need for multiple variants (such as 918Vdc, 936Vdc, 36~72Vdc), significantly simplifying model selection, reducing inventory requirements, and providing design flexibility.
To ensure seamless upgrades, the W8 series adopts a Pin-to-Pin compatible DIP24 package, allowing drop-in replacement of legacy 2:1 input models without PCB redesign. Please find more detailed spec comparison below:
Features
