Test conditions and notes8
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC 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. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  5. 5. Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
  6. 6. 33% Duty cycle maximum within every 15 seconds. Average output power should not exceed the rated power.
  7. 7. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets EMC directives. (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )
  8. 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).

FAQ

Can I use the SCP-50-12 for a mid-size 13.8V automation or control load?

Yes, if the equipment requires constant 13.8V DC and stays within 3.6A and 49.7W. That gives it more headroom than the 35.9W version for moderately larger control or embedded loads.

Is the SCP-50-12 suitable for communications or network-support hardware that runs on 13.8V DC?

It can be, provided the connected hardware is designed for 13.8V DC and the total load does not exceed 3.6A. The 85-264VAC input is also useful where the same equipment may be deployed across different AC mains environments.

Would this power supply fit a 13.8V panel with several low-power devices instead of one small load?

Potentially yes, because the available output is 13.8V at up to 3.6A with a 49.7W rating. It suits grouped low-power electronics better than a 2.6A unit, as long as the combined load remains inside the published limits.

Is the SCP-50-12 intended for indoor or outdoor environments?

Its operating temperature is -20°C to +60°C, so it can fit many indoor industrial or utility enclosures with that temperature profile. The provided specs do not include an IP rating, so outdoor weather exposure is not confirmed here.

How does the SCP-50-12 differ from the other SCP family members?

This model provides 49.7W at 13.8V and 3.6A. The other listed versions are SCP-35-12 at 35.9W, 13.8V, 2.6A; SCP-35-24 at 38.6W, 27.6V, 1.4A; SCP-50-24 at 49.7W, 27.6V, 1.8A; SCP-75-12 at 74.5W, 13.8V, 5.4A; and SCP-75-24 at 74.5W, 27.6V, 2.7A.
