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-100C-24 to power 24V sensors or automation devices from a 48V DC system?
Yes, this model accepts 33.6~62.4V input, so it fits nominal 48V DC systems. It provides a constant-voltage 24V output at up to 4.2A and 100.8W for 24V industrial sensors, controls, and automation subsystems within that rating.
Is the RSD-100C-24 suitable for 24V control loads in telecom or DC distribution cabinets?
Yes, the input range of 33.6~62.4V makes it suitable for higher-voltage DC distribution environments that need a regulated 24V rail. The output is limited to 4.2A and 100.8W, so it is intended for control and electronics loads rather than larger 24V power devices.
Can this converter be used in embedded or industrial systems where vibration is a concern?
The specs list 10~500Hz, 5G vibration with IEC61373 shock and vibration compliance, which is relevant for mobile or mechanically active industrial equipment. It delivers 24V constant-voltage output up to 4.2A from a 33.6~62.4V input source.
Is the RSD-100C-24 suitable for outdoor use?
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). However, no IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so exposed outdoor use would normally require a protective enclosure rather than leaving the converter open to rain or dust.
How does the RSD-100C-24 compare with other RSD-100 converters at the same power class?
For the 100W RSD-100 family, the 24V models are RSD-100B-24, RSD-100C-24, and RSD-100D-24, each rated at 100.8W and 4.2A. The same platform also includes 12V versions at 100.8W and 8.4A and 5V versions at 100W and 20A; the C model is the variant in the 33.6~62.4V input range group.
