MEAN WELL SD-15B-5 15W DC-DC-converter, 19,2-36V ingang, 5V 3A uitgang, chassis-montage

Delivering 15 watts of regulated DC power from a wide 19.2–36 VDC input, the SD-15B-5 steps down to a stable 5 VDC at 3 A with 74% efficiency and 100 mVp-p ripple. Ideal for industrial control panels, vehicle systems, and battery-powered equipment requiring isolated low-voltage rails.

Overview

The MEAN WELL SD-15B-5 is a compact, chassis-mount DC-DC converter from the SD-15 series. It accepts a 2:1 input range (19.2–36 VDC) and provides a single, fully regulated 5 VDC output rated at 3 A. Built-in protections include short circuit, overload, and over voltage, with 1500 VDC input-to-output isolation for safety. Convection cooling eliminates the need for fans, ensuring silent, maintenance-free operation.
