Test conditions and notes5

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(E:5Vdc, 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 for SCWN03, 25% to 100% rated load for DCWN03.
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 DCWN03E-15 typically used for?

The Mean Well DCWN03E-15 is typically used as a compact isolated DC-DC converter when a 4.5-9V DC input must be converted to a regulated ±15V dual output. With 3W rated power and up to 100mA per output, it is intended for low-power ±15V auxiliary and control applications.

Is the DCWN03E-15 suitable for generating a small 15V rail from low-voltage DC input?

Yes. The DCWN03E-15 converts a 4.5-9V DC input to a ±15V dual output at up to 100mA per output, making it suitable for low-power ±15V circuits that fit within its 3W output capability.

What design features make the DCWN03E-15 useful in embedded or industrial electronics?

The DCWN03E-15 offers a DIP24 package, 3KVDC input-to-output isolation, no minimum load requirement, and 80% typical efficiency. Those features make it useful in compact isolated electronics designs.

Can the DCWN03E-15 operate in demanding temperature conditions?

Yes. Its published operating temperature range is -40°C to +90°C, which makes it suitable for a broad range of industrial and embedded environments when the overall system design stays within rated limits.

How does the DCWN03E-15 compare with the other 03E models?

The DCWN03E-15 is the ±15V output member of the 3W 03E group, while the DCWN03E-05 and DCWN03E-12 provide ±5V and ±12V outputs from the same 4.5-9V input class. Selection mainly depends on which output voltage your low-power circuit requires.
