Test conditions and notes6
- 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. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 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. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 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-20-12 for a small 12V PLC or control panel circuit?
Yes, it is suitable for small PLC or control panel loads that require 12V DC up to 1.67A. The 20W output is aimed at lighter-duty industrial control applications rather than high-current 12V loads.
Is the MDR-20-12 a good fit for industrial automation components that need 12V DC?
It can be used for industrial automation components inside a cabinet when the total 12V load stays within 1.67A. Its ultra slim 22.5 mm width helps in narrow DIN rail layouts where panel space is limited.
Can this power supply be used in building management control enclosures with 12V devices?
Yes, it is appropriate for building management enclosures that use 12V DC controllers, relays, or interface devices within a 20W power budget. The 85-264VAC input also supports a broad AC input range for building panels.
What is the difference between the MDR-20-12 and other 12V MDR models?
This datasheet covers the MDR-20 series, in which the MDR-20-12 is the only 12V model, rated 20W and 1.67A. The other versions are the MDR-20-5 (5V, 15W, 3A), MDR-20-15 (15V, 20W, 1.34A) and MDR-20-24 (24V, 24W, 1A), all in the same 22.5 x 90 x 100 mm DIN rail housing.
Is the MDR-20-12 suitable for control cabinet and enclosure use?
Yes, it is intended for protected control cabinets and enclosures rather than exposed environments. Its operating temperature range is -20°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures according to the derating curve.
