Test conditions and notes6
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
  5. 5. 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.
  6. 6. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).

FAQ

Can I use the MDR-40-12 for a 12V PLC or control panel circuit?

Yes, this model is suited to 12V industrial control applications that need a regulated 12V output up to 3.33A. Its DIN rail form factor and compact 40 x 90 x 100 mm (W x H x D) size make it appropriate for control panels where space is limited.

Is the MDR-40-12 a good fit for building management or access control panels that run on 12V DC?

It can be used where the system requires 12V DC and the total load stays within 40W and 3.33A. The wide 85-264VAC input is useful in building and facility panels fed from standard AC sources.

Can this power supply support 12V sensors, relays, and small automation loads in one cabinet?

It is intended for 12V DC loads with a combined demand up to 40W or 3.33A. That makes it suitable for grouped low-power automation devices in a DIN rail cabinet, provided the total draw stays within the unit's rating.

Would the MDR-40-12 work in a compact DIN rail enclosure with limited space?

Yes, the unit is built for mounting on TS-35/7.5 or TS-35/15 DIN rail and its housing measures 40 x 90 x 100 mm (W x H x D). The 40 mm width is useful in narrow control enclosures where panel density matters.

Is the MDR-40-12 meant for open-air use or for installation inside a control cabinet?

This model is generally suited to use inside a control cabinet or enclosure rather than exposed locations. The stated operating range is -20C to +70C with output derating at higher ambient temperatures (see the derating curve), and no outdoor or washdown protection rating is listed in the provided specs.

How does the MDR-40-12 compare with other MDR series DIN rail models?

Within the MDR-40 series, the MDR-40-12 delivers 12V at 3.33A for 40W. The other versions are MDR-40-5 at 5V, 30W and 6A, MDR-40-24 at 24V, 40.8W and 1.7A, and MDR-40-48 at 48V, 39.8W and 0.83A. All share the 85-264VAC input, convection cooling, DC OK relay and the 40 x 90 x 100 mm DIN rail housing.
