Test conditions and notes6
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 24,48VDC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Strongly recommended that external output capacitance should not exceed 5000uF. (Only for: RSD-300-5 / -12)
  5. 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. 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-300B-12 to run 12V control accessories from a nominal 24V DC system?

Yes, this converter accepts 16.8~31.2V input and provides a constant-voltage 12V output. It can support loads up to 22.5A and 270W, which fits many 12V control accessories on lower-voltage DC platforms.

Is this converter a good fit for 12V mobile networking or surveillance equipment on industrial vehicles?

It is suited to 12V equipment that needs a regulated output and stays within 22.5A and 270W. The specs list 5G vibration resistance and operation at -40C to +55C full load, up to +70C at 60% load or at full load with an external base plate.

Can I use this for 12V embedded computers and HMI hardware in an automation cabinet?

Yes, if the cabinet uses a DC source within 16.8~31.2V and the combined 12V load does not exceed 22.5A or 270W. Its constant-voltage output is intended for equipment that expects a stable 12V rail.

Can one RSD-300B-12 support several 12V devices at the same time?

It can support multiple 12V devices as long as their total demand stays within 22.5A and 270W. Because it is a constant-voltage model, it is best used where all connected loads require 12V output.

Is the RSD-300B-12 suitable for outdoor or harsh-temperature locations?

The operating temperature range is -40C to +55C at full load, up to +70C at 60% load by free-air convection, or +70C at full load with an external base plate; -40C to +85C is the storage range. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so outdoor exposure and enclosure protection are not defined by this data.
