Test conditions and notes5

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(F:24Vdc, G: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)

FAQ

Can I use the DPBW03F-15 to provide 15V for analog or signal-conditioning circuits in automation equipment?

This version is a constant-voltage ±15V converter rated at 3W with 9-36VDC input. It fits low-power analog, signal-conditioning, or interface circuits when the input source is within 9-36VDC and the load remains within 3W.

Is the DPBW03F-15 a good fit for compact industrial electronics where board space is limited?

Its body is only 21.8 × 9.2 × 11.1 mm and the listed weight is 4.3g, so it works well where compact packaging matters. Electrically, it is intended for constant ±15V output at 3W rather than higher-power subsystem loads.

Can this converter be used in embedded test, measurement, or control modules that need 15V?

It can be used in small embedded modules that need a regulated ±15V rail and have an available source within 9-36VDC. The 3W rating makes it suitable for low-power control and measurement electronics, not larger 15V devices.

How does the DPBW03F-15 compare to the 5V and 12V DPBW03F models?

All three DPBW03F models share 3W power, 9-36VDC input, constant-voltage operation, 21.8 × 9.2 × 11.1 mm dimensions, 4.3g weight, -40°C to +85°C operation, and a 3-year warranty. The listed outputs are ±5V at ±300mA for DPBW03F-05, ±12V at ±125mA for DPBW03F-12, and ±15V at ±100mA for DPBW03F-15.

Is the DPBW03F-15 rated for outdoor control boxes or exposed industrial locations?

The product is specified for operation from -40°C to +85°C, which covers a broad temperature range. The provided specs do not list an IP rating, so they do not confirm suitability for exposed outdoor conditions or direct moisture exposure.
