  1. 1.All parameters are specified at normal input(E:5Vdc, A:12Vdc, B:24Vdc, C:48Vdc), rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
  2. 2.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μf & 47μf capacitor.
  3. 3.Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  4. 4.Load regulation is measured from 10% to 100% rated load for SCWN03, 25% to 100% rated load for DCWN03.
  5. 5.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 SCWN03B-12 for 12V sensors or control modules in automation equipment?

Yes, if the 12V load stays within 0.25A and the total power stays within 3W. This model provides constant-voltage 12V output and is specified for an 18-36VDC input range.

Is the SCWN03B-12 suitable for compact 12V embedded or industrial interface boards?

It is suitable for compact 12V electronics that need regulated constant voltage at up to 0.25A. The housing size is 31.8 × 20.3 × 10.2 mm, which supports tight-space equipment designs.

Can this converter support a 12V alarm, signaling, or relay control circuit?

It can support 12V signaling or relay-related electronics when the demand remains within 0.25A and 3W. The input side must also match the specified 18-36VDC range.

What is the difference between the SCWN03B-12 and the other SCWN03B models?

The SCWN03B-12 is the 12V version and is rated at 0.25A and 3W. Other models in the series are SCWN03B-03 at 3.3V and 0.6A, SCWN03B-05 at 5V and 0.6A, and SCWN03B-15 at 15V and 0.2A; all are 3W converters.

Is the SCWN03B-12 intended for outdoor use or only controlled environments?

The temperature specification is -40°C to +90°C, which covers a wide operating range. An IP rating is not listed in the provided specs, so weather exposure or sealed outdoor use is not specified.
