Test conditions and notes7
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
  4. 4. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  5. 5. Load regulation is measured from 0% to 100% rated load.
  6. 6. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 230mm*230mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets 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 )
  7. 7. 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).

FAQ

Can I use the RS-15-12 for a small 12V sensor or relay circuit in industrial equipment?

Yes, it provides a constant 12V output with up to 1.3A and 15.6W available. That makes it appropriate for lower-power 12V control loads that do not need the higher current of larger 12V models.

Is the RS-15-12 a good fit for compact embedded 12V electronics?

It can be a good fit for embedded 12V devices that stay within 1.3A and 15.6W. Its 62.5 × 51.0 × 28.0 mm dimensions and 0.13 kg weight are useful where board or enclosure space is tight.

Can this model power a small 12V automation accessory or interface board?

Yes, if the accessory requires a regulated 12V constant-voltage supply and its demand stays at or below 1.3A. It also accepts 85-264VAC input, which helps in applications that may see different AC input conditions.

Is the RS-15-12 suitable for outdoor use or only indoor enclosures?

The specs show an operating range of -20°C to +70°C, with output derating at higher ambient temperatures, and note 5G vibration resistance. No IP rating is listed, so the product data supports temperature capability but does not confirm weather-exposed outdoor use.
