Test conditions and notes6
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 24,48,110VDC 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. Strongly recommended that external output capacitance should not exceed 5000uF. (Only for: RSD-100-5 / -12)
- 5. 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 )
- 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 RSD-100B-5 to power a 5V industrial controller or embedded computer from a 16.8~31.2V DC source?
Yes, this model is designed for constant-voltage 5V output from a 16.8~31.2V input range. It can deliver up to 20A and 100W, which fits 5V industrial control electronics, embedded computers, and automation logic that require a regulated 5V rail within that power level.
Is the RSD-100B-5 suitable for 24V battery-based automation systems that need a 5V rail?
Yes, a 24V DC source falls within the 16.8~31.2V input range of this converter. The unit provides a 5V constant-voltage output with up to 20A and 100W for control boards, HMIs, and embedded subsystems that run on 5V.
Can this converter be used in transportation or mobile equipment with vibration?
It is rated for 10~500Hz, 5G vibration with IEC61373 shock and vibration compliance, which makes it a practical choice for mobile or vibration-prone industrial equipment. Its 161.0 × 68.0 × 36.0 mm size also suits compact control enclosures where a 5V, 20A output is needed from a 16.8~31.2V input source.
Is the RSD-100B-5 suitable for outdoor or harsh-temperature installations?
It operates from -40°C to +55°C without derating, and up to +70°C at 60% load by free air convection or at full load when mounted on an external base plate (EN50155 TX class). No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so it is better suited to protected enclosures rather than exposed outdoor mounting where water and dust protection would need to come from the enclosure.
How does the RSD-100B-5 compare with other 100W RSD-100 models?
In the 100W RSD-100 range, the 5V versions are RSD-100B-5, RSD-100C-5, and RSD-100D-5, each rated at 100W and 20A. The 12V versions are RSD-100B-12, RSD-100C-12, and RSD-100D-12 at 100.8W and 8.4A, while the 24V versions are RSD-100B-24, RSD-100C-24, and RSD-100D-24 at 100.8W and 4.2A; the main difference across B, C, and D versions is the input range family.
