Test conditions and notes5

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(E:5Vdc, A:12Vdc, B:24Vdc, C:48Vdc), 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 10% to 100% rated load for SCWN03, 25% to 100% rated load for DCWN03.
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

What is the DCWN03B-12 typically used for?

The Mean Well DCWN03B-12 is typically used for isolated low-power DC-DC conversion from an 18-36V DC source to a regulated ±12V dual output. With 3W rated power and up to 125mA per output, it fits compact auxiliary and control circuits that need isolated ±12V power.

Is the DCWN03B-12 a good fit for 18-36V input systems that need 12V output?

Yes. The DCWN03B-12 is intended for 18-36V input and ±12V dual output service, provided the load stays within the unit's 3W and 125mA-per-output capacity.

Can the DCWN03B-12 be used in isolated low-power support circuits?

Yes. The converter includes 3KVDC I/O isolation, no minimum load requirement, and a compact DIP24 package, making it suitable for isolated auxiliary ±12V rails in small electronic systems.

Is the DCWN03B-12 suitable for broad operating temperatures?

It is rated for -40°C to +90°C working temperature, which makes it suitable for demanding protected electronic environments. It should still be used inside equipment or enclosure-protected systems.

How does the DCWN03B-12 compare with other DCWN03 12V variants?

The DCWN03B-12 provides 3W at ±12V from an 18-36V input range. The A, C, and E variants provide the same ±12V output but with 9-18V, 36-72V, and 4.5-9V input ranges respectively. The main difference is the source-side voltage window.
