Test conditions and notes6

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(A:12Vdc, B:24Vdc, C:48Vdc), rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
2.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf capacitor.
3.Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
4.Load regulation is measured from 10% to 100% rated load.
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)
6.An external input filter capacitor is required if the module has to meet BS EN/EN61000-4-4, BS EN/EN61000-4-5. The filter capacitor Power Mate suggest: 220uF/100V.

FAQ

Can I use the SLC03A-12 for 12V industrial control electronics?

This converter is intended for constant voltage 12V output at 3W, which fits low-power industrial control electronics that require regulated 12V. Its input range is 9-18VDC, so the source needs to stay within that window.

Is the SLC03A-12 a fit for embedded 12V interface boards in automation equipment?

It is a compact option for embedded 12V interface or support boards because it measures 22.1 × 13.8 × 8.55 mm and weighs 0.0045 kg. The output is constant voltage 12V with a 3W rating for low-power board-level use.

Can this model support small 12V monitoring or signaling circuits?

Yes, it is aligned with small 12V monitoring or signaling circuits that need constant voltage output rather than higher-power conversion. The key limits are its 12V output and 3W power rating.

Would the SLC03A-12 work in equipment exposed to wide temperature swings?

The rated operating temperature span is -40°C to +85°C, with load derating at the upper end per the derating curve, so it is designed for wide temperature variation. That covers the thermal range in the spec sheet, but the listed data does not provide an IP rating.

Can I use the SLC03A-12 outdoors?

The temperature specification is -40°C to +85°C, but outdoor suitability cannot be confirmed from temperature alone. No IP rating is listed, so the product's protection against dust or water is not defined in these specs.

What is the difference between the SLC03A-12 and the other SLC03A variants?

The SLC03A-12 is rated for 3W, 12V output, and 250mA output current. In the same series, the SLC03A-05 is 3W with 5V output and 600mA output current, while the SLC03A-15 is 3W with 15V output and 200mA output current. All share the same 9-18VDC input range.
