Overview
IRM-20-15 is the 15V output model of this series: rated current 1.4A, rated power 21W, typical efficiency 84%.
IRM-20 is a 20W miniature (52.4*27.2*24mm) AC-DC module-type power supply, ready to be soldered onto the PCB boards of various kinds of electronic instruments or industrial automation equipments. This product allows the universal input voltage range of 85~ 305 Vac. The 94V-0 flame retardant plastic case and potted with silicone enhance the heat dissipation and meet the anti-vibration demand up to 2G; moreover, it provides the fundamental resistance to dust and moisture. With the high efficiency up to 85% and the extremely low no-load power consumption below 0.1W, IRM-20 series fulfills the worldwide regulation for the low power consumption requirement for electronics. The entire series is a Class Ⅱ design (no FG pin), incorporating the built-in EMI filtering components, enabling the compliance with BS EN/EN55032 Class B; the supreme EMC features keep the end electronic units from electromagnetic interference.

Test conditions and notes5
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230Vac input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
- 4. The ambient temperature derating of 3.5℃/1000m with fanless models and of 5℃/1000m with fan models for operating altitude higher than 2000m(6500ft).
- 5. 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 IRM-20-15 to power a 15V industrial control board inside equipment?
Yes, this model is a constant-voltage 15V supply rated for 1.4A and 21W. That makes it suitable for 15V control electronics, monitoring boards, or interface circuits that stay within that output rating. Its encapsulated PCB-mount format also fits compact internal equipment designs.
Is the IRM-20-15 a fit for embedded 15V sensors and signal conditioning modules?
It can be a good fit for embedded 15V subsystems that need a regulated 15V output and draw no more than 1.4A. The unit accepts 85-305VAC input, which is useful when the equipment may be used across different mains ranges. The small 52.4 x 27.2 x 24.0 mm body supports space-constrained PCB assemblies.
Can this power supply run a small 15V automation HMI or operator interface module?
It is appropriate for a small 15V automation device if the load stays within 21W and 1.4A. For low-power HMIs, panel electronics, or internal display/control assemblies that require constant voltage, the rating aligns with that type of duty. Buyers should size the total connected load against the 15V, 1.4A output limit.
Can I use the IRM-20-15 in a compact test fixture or bench instrument?
Yes, for internal AC-DC conversion in a compact test fixture or instrument that needs 15V DC up to 1.4A. The encapsulated miniature construction and 0.05 kg weight make it suitable where board space and overall mass are limited. It is intended for constant-voltage applications rather than adjustable-output use.
Is the IRM-20-15 suitable for outdoor or harsh-environment use?
The published specs show an operating temperature range of -30C to +85C, with output derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve, so it can handle a wide internal equipment temperature range. However, no IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so this product should not be assumed to be weatherproof on its own. It is better treated as an encapsulated PCB-mount power supply for protected enclosures.
