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 is the Mean Well IOB-15-12A designed for?

The IOB-15-12A is an AC-DC on-board power module for OEM and embedded equipment that needs a regulated 12V output. It is intended to mount on a system PCB and provide up to 15W of power in a compact module format. This makes it suitable for space-constrained industrial and electronic designs.

What are the main electrical ratings of the IOB-15-12A?

This model is rated for 15W output power and provides a 12V DC output at up to 1.25A. It accepts a wide 85 to 305Vac input range, and it can also operate from 100 to 430Vdc input. Ripple and noise are specified at 150mV.

Is the IOB-15-12A suitable for harsh temperature environments?

The IOB-15-12A is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, which is a wide temperature range for industrial applications. It is cooled by free air convection, so it is intended for designs that do not rely on forced-air cooling. Buyers should still check their enclosure and derating conditions against the application.

What protections are built into the IOB-15-12A?

This model includes short circuit, overload, and over voltage protection. Short circuit and overload protection use hiccup mode with automatic recovery after the fault is removed. Over voltage protection is implemented as an output voltage clamp.

How is the IOB-15-12A different from a larger enclosed power supply?

The IOB-15-12A is built as an on-board module with a gold finger PCB format rather than a larger enclosed chassis-style supply. Its compact 44.5 x 24 x 15mm size is intended for integration inside the end system where board space matters. It is a better fit for embedded designs that need internal power conversion without adding a bulkier standalone supply.

What should buyers check for compatibility before selecting the IOB-15-12A?

The main compatibility points are whether the equipment needs a regulated 12V output and whether 15W total output power is sufficient. Buyers should also confirm that the available input source falls within the 85 to 305Vac or 100 to 430Vdc range. For compliance-sensitive projects, this model is approved to IEC62368-1 and is Safety Class II.
