FAQ

Can I use the SCW08C-15 for a low-power 15V automation device on a 36-72VDC input system?

Yes, it converts a 36-72VDC input range to a constant 15V output. The output is limited to 8W and 0.53A, so it is intended for smaller 15V automation electronics rather than larger 15V loads.

Is the SCW08C-15 suitable for embedded 15V circuits inside space-constrained equipment?

It is well suited to compact assemblies because it measures 31.8 × 20.3 × 12.2 mm and weighs 17.5 g. Its constant 15V output supports embedded circuits that stay within the 0.53A maximum current.

Can this converter power a small 15V instrumentation or control module?

It can, provided the module needs a constant 15V supply and does not exceed 0.53A output current. The total output capacity is 8W, so it is a match for low-power 15V instrumentation or control sections.

How does the SCW08C-15 differ from the SCW08C-05 and SCW08C-12?

All three models are 8W converters in the same series. SCW08C-05 is rated for 5V at 1.6A, SCW08C-12 for 12V at 0.67A, and SCW08C-15 for 15V at 0.53A.

Is the SCW08C-15 suitable for outdoor use or extreme temperatures?

The specified operating temperature range is -40°C to +71°C, with output derated at higher temperatures per the derating curve. However, no IP rating is listed, so the environmental sealing level for outdoor exposure is not specified.
