Test conditions and notes6

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(72Vdc), rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
2.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf capacitor.
3.Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
4.Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
5.The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
6.The final equipment must be re-confirm that it still meet EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.”(as available on http://www.meanwell.com)

FAQ

Can I use the RSDW20UW-15 for 15V LED modules in rail or transit equipment?

Yes, this model is a 15V constant-voltage DC/DC converter rated for 20W and 1.33A. Its features list compliance with EN50155 railway standards, along with 3KVAC isolation and an 8.5~160VDC ultra-wide input range, which makes it suitable for rail-related 15V lighting applications that fit within those electrical limits.

Is this a good fit for compact embedded or industrial control assemblies that need 15V power?

It can fit compact 15V embedded or industrial assemblies when the load stays within 20W and 1.33A. The 2"x1" low-profile, fully encapsulated construction and 50.8 x 25.4 x 10.2 mm size support use where board space and height are limited.

Can the RSDW20UW-15 power 15V inspection or machine-status lighting in automation equipment?

It is suitable for 15V constant-voltage lighting loads up to 20W total. The wide operating temperature range of -40C to +95C also supports use in industrial equipment that sees large ambient temperature swings.

Is the RSDW20UW-15 suitable for outdoor or washdown environments?

The provided specifications list an operating temperature range of -40C to +95C, but they do not include an IP rating. Because the construction is described as fully encapsulated, it is better suited to protected equipment spaces unless the overall system enclosure provides the needed environmental protection.

How does the RSDW20UW-15 compare with the other RSDW20UW models?

Within the listed siblings, the RSDW20UW-05 is 20W at 5V and 4A, the RSDW20UW-12 is 20W at 12V and 1.67A, and the RSDW20UW-15 is 20W at 15V and 1.33A. The main difference is the output voltage and corresponding output current, while all three are in the same 20W family.
