Test conditions and notes10

1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
2. The rated power includes 5Vsb @ 0.6A.
3. The rated power includes 5Vsb @ 0.8A.
4. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
5. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
6. Derating may be needed under low input voltages. Please check the derating curve for more details.
7. Touch current was measured from primary input to DC output.
8. 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).
9. HS1,HS2 & HS3 can not be shorted.
10. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. 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 )

FAQ

Can the RPS-160-12 power a 12V industrial control panel or automation assembly?

Yes, it is a constant voltage 12V supply rated for 9.1A and 112.2W. That makes it suitable for 12V control electronics, monitoring hardware, or automation assemblies that stay within those limits.

Is the RPS-160-12 a fit for embedded systems with higher 12V current demand?

It can be a good match for embedded systems that need more current on a 12V rail, because it provides up to 12.9A with forced air cooling (20.5CFM) or 9.1A with convection cooling. The 127 x 76.2 x 34.6 mm form factor is compact for enclosed equipment.

Can I use this power supply for 12V medical or laboratory equipment?

It is medical safety approved (IEC 60601-1, 2xMOPP), so it can be considered for 12V medical or lab equipment that requires that approval class and fits within 112.2W (convection) or 159.8W (forced air). Its no load power consumption is specified at less than 0.5W for the G model, which can also matter in low-idle systems.

Is the RPS-160-12 suitable for outdoor installations or unsealed enclosures?

No IP rating is listed, so this model is better suited to indoor equipment or protected housings instead of exposed outdoor locations. The operating temperature range is -20°C to +70°C, so temperature capability should be considered along with enclosure protection.

How does the RPS-160-12 compare with the other RPS-160 models?

The RPS-160 family includes 5V at 20A/103W (convection) or 30A/155W (forced air), 12V at 9.1A/112.2W (convection) or 12.9A/159.8W (forced air), 15V at 7.3A/112.5W (convection) or 10.3A/159.5W (forced air), 24V at 4.6A/113.4W (convection) or 6.5A/161W (forced air), and 48V at 2.3A/113.4W (convection) or 3.25A/161W (forced air). The family keeps a similar power class while changing output voltage and current for different DC bus requirements.
