Test conditions and notes5
- 1.All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230Vac input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3.Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 4.When starting at a low temperature of -40℃, the output capacitor needs to be equipped with a solid capacitor to meet the load reduction curve requirements.
- 5.The final equipment must be re-confirm that it still meet EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.”(as available on http://www.meanwell.com)

FAQ
What kinds of equipment is the Mean Well IOB-15-03C best suited for?
The IOB-15-03C is designed for compact embedded equipment that needs an on-board AC-DC power module rather than a larger enclosed supply. Its vertical, PCB-mount form factor and 9.9W rating make it a practical fit for space-constrained industrial, control, and electronic system designs.
What makes the IOB-15-03C different from a larger enclosed AC-DC power supply?
This model is an on-board type power module intended to be assembled directly within the host system, so it targets compact internal power conversion rather than standalone power supply use. Its 44.5 x 24 x 15 mm size and vertical profile help reduce the footprint compared with bulkier chassis-style supplies.
Is the IOB-15-03C suitable for equipment used in a wide temperature range?
Yes. Mean Well specifies an operating temperature range of -40 to +85 degrees C, which makes this model suitable for demanding environments where ambient conditions can vary significantly. That range is useful for industrial and commercial equipment that may face cold starts or elevated internal temperatures.
Can the IOB-15-03C be used in products sold into different input-voltage regions?
Yes. The module supports a wide 85 to 305Vac input range, with 277Vac availability noted, so it is well suited for products intended for multiple mains environments. It also supports 100 to 430Vdc input, which adds flexibility for certain DC-fed systems.
What protection and safety features are included in the IOB-15-03C?
This model includes short circuit, overload, and over-voltage protection, with automatic recovery behavior noted for fault conditions. It is also specified as Safety Class II and approved to IEC62368-1, which is relevant for buyers evaluating protection and compliance requirements.
