Test conditions and notes6

1.All parameters are specified at normal input(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.
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)
6.An external input filter capacitor is required if the module has to meet BS EN/EN61000-4-4, BS EN/EN61000-4-5. The filter capacitor Power Mate suggest: 220uF/100V.

FAQ

Can I use the DLC03A-05 in a 12V embedded or automotive-style control circuit that needs 5V output?

This model has a 9-18VDC input range and a constant ±5V output, so it aligns with low-power designs operating in that input window. Its 3W rating makes it a fit for small embedded, control, or interface circuits rather than larger 5V loads.

Is the DLC03A-05 appropriate for powering 5V logic or communication modules inside industrial electronics?

It is intended for constant-voltage ±5V output and is rated for 3W total power. That makes it suitable for low-power logic, signaling, or communications sections inside industrial or embedded equipment that matches the 9-18VDC input range.

Can this converter be used in compact automation devices where board space is limited?

The DLC03A-05 measures 22.1 × 13.8 × 8.55 mm and weighs 4.5g. Those compact dimensions can help in small automation, monitoring, or embedded assemblies that need a low-power 5V rail.

Is the DLC03A-05 suitable for outdoor panels or unsealed environments?

Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C, which supports broad temperature conditions. No IP rating is listed, so the provided specs do not establish outdoor or unsealed-enclosure suitability.

What is the difference between the DLC03A-05, DLC03A-12, and DLC03A-15?

All three are 3W converters in the DLC03A series with a 9-18VDC input range. The DLC03A-05 outputs ±5V at ±300mA, the DLC03A-12 outputs ±12V at ±125mA, and the DLC03A-15 outputs ±15V at ±100mA.
