Voeding MEAN WELL SKM10B-15 10W 15V 18-36V

The MEAN WELL SKM10B-15 is a compact DC-DC converter designed for PCB mounting. It accepts a wide input range of 18–36 VDC and provides a single regulated 15 VDC output with a maximum output current of 0.67 A (10 W). The module is supplied in a DIP through-hole package with an ultra-compact 1" x 1" footprint and a lightweight construction of approximately 18 g. The device is RoHS compliant and intended for use where a small, reliable step-down or isolation power stage is required on a circuit board.

Advantages

The SKM10B-15 offers a small physical size and through-hole DIP format that simplifies PCB integration. Its wide input range (18–36 VDC) accommodates variable supply sources, while the regulated 15 V output delivers up to 0.67 A for stable operation. The unit's low weight and RoHS compliance make it suitable for applications with space and environmental restrictions. The 1" x 1" form factor supports high-density layouts.

Suitable for

• Embedded systems and control boards requiring a 15 V supply
• Industrial equipment with 18–36 V supply rails
• Prototyping and small-series PCBs where board-mounted conversion is needed
• Applications needing a compact, through-hole DC-DC solution

How to use

Mount the SKM10B-15 onto the PCB using the specified DIP through-hole footprint, ensuring correct pin alignment and soldering quality. Connect the input to a stable 18–36 VDC source and verify polarity before powering. Use the 15 VDC output to feed downstream circuitry, observing the maximum load of 0.67 A. Provide adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation and keep sensitive traces away from switching nodes. Follow MEAN WELL application notes for grounding and filtering if additional EMI suppression or transient protection is required.

Recommendations

Operate the converter within the specified input range and below the maximum output current to ensure reliable performance. Allow for airflow or PCB thermal paths in applications running near full load. For noisy or sensitive systems, add appropriate input/output filtering and follow MEAN WELL layout guidelines.
