Test conditions and notes5

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 for SCWN06, 25% to 100% rated load for DCWN06.
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

Can I use the SCWN06A-05 to power a 5V microcontroller or embedded control board from a 12V system?

Yes, this model is intended for constant-voltage 5V output and accepts a 9-18VDC input range, which fits many nominal 12V control systems. It can supply up to 1A with a 6W maximum output, so the total 5V load needs to stay within those limits.

Is the SCWN06A-05 suitable for 5V industrial sensors or small logic modules in a control cabinet?

It can be a fit for low-power 5V sensors, logic boards, or interface electronics that require regulated 5V. The key limits are the 1A maximum output current, 6W power rating, and 9-18VDC input range.

Can this converter be used in embedded or automation equipment where space is limited?

Yes, it is compact at 31.8 x 20.3 x 10.2 mm and weighs 0.0125 kg, which helps in tightly packed embedded assemblies. Electrically, it is best suited to small 5V loads that remain within 1A and 6W.

Would the SCWN06A-05 work for a small 5V communications or monitoring board in industrial equipment?

It can work for low-power 5V monitoring, controller, or communications boards when the source is within 9-18VDC. Because the output is fixed at 5V constant voltage and limited to 1A, it is not intended for higher-current 5V devices.

What is the difference between the SCWN06A-05 and the other SCWN06A models?

All SCWN06A models in this group are 6W converters with the same 9-18VAC input range. The difference is the output: SCWN06A-03 is 3.3V at 1.2A, SCWN06A-05 is 5V at 1A, SCWN06A-12 is 12V at 0.5A, and SCWN06A-15 is 15V at 0.4A.

Is the SCWN06A-05 suitable for outdoor or harsh-temperature environments?

The specified operating temperature is -40°C to +90°C, so the temperature range is broad. However, no IP rating is listed, so exposed outdoor or washdown use is not established from the provided specs.
