Test conditions and notes8
- 1.All parameters are specified at 230VAC input, rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
- 2.DC voltage: The output voltage set at point measure by plug terminal & 50% load.
- 3.Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF capacitor.
- 4.Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation, load regulation.
- 5.Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
- 6.Load regulation is measured from 10% to 100% rated load.
- 7.Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 8.The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the EMC directives. For guidance on how to perform these EMC tests, please refer to “EMI testing of component power supplies.” (as available on https://www.meanwell.com//Upload/PDF/EMI_statement_en.pdf )

FAQ
Can I use the GST25A18-P1J for an 18V industrial control or communications device?
Yes, if the device is built for 18V DC input and its load remains within 1.38A and 25W. This constant-voltage model is suited to lower-power industrial control, interface, or communications hardware that expects a steady 18V supply. The 85-264VAC input also supports broad AC source compatibility.
Is this 18V adapter suitable for embedded systems that need a fixed 18V input?
It can be suitable for embedded systems designed for 18V DC, as long as the total draw does not exceed 1.38A or 25W. Because it is a constant-voltage supply, it should only be used where 18V is the required operating input. It is not intended for lower-voltage devices that rely on the adapter to regulate down.
Can the GST25A18-P1J power small automation equipment or instrumentation?
Yes, for small automation equipment or instrumentation that requires 18V DC and stays within the rated 25W output. The maximum output current is 1.38A, so the connected load must stay at or below that level. The compact body measures 93.0 x 54.0 x 36.0 mm.
Can this power supply be used outdoors?
The specs show an operating temperature range of -30C to +70C, but no IP rating is provided. Without a stated IP rating, the safer interpretation is indoor or otherwise protected use rather than direct outdoor exposure. If used in a more demanding environment, the enclosure would need to provide the protection.
How can I tell if this 18V model is the right match for my equipment?
Your equipment should require 18V DC and draw no more than 1.38A, with total power at or below 25W. Since this is a constant-voltage supply, a device that needs another voltage is not compatible even if its wattage is similar. Matching the required 18V input is the first check.
