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
What is the DCWN06A-12 typically used for?
The Mean Well DCWN06A-12 is typically used as a compact isolated DC-DC converter for generating a regulated ±12V output from a 9-18V DC input. With 6W rated power and ±250mA output current, it is suitable for low-power ±12V auxiliary, control, and interface circuits.
Is the DCWN06A-12 a good fit for ±12V auxiliary rails from a 12V-class input source?
Yes. The DCWN06A-12 is designed for a 9-18V input range and provides a regulated ±12V output at up to ±250mA, making it appropriate for low-power isolated ±12V rails when the load stays within its 6W rating.
What makes the DCWN06A-12 useful in compact isolated systems?
The DCWN06A-12 combines a DIP24 package, 3KVDC I/O isolation, no minimum load requirement, and high typical efficiency. That makes it useful in compact industrial or embedded systems that need isolation and stable low-power conversion.
Can the DCWN06A-12 be used in demanding thermal environments?
Yes. The published operating temperature range is -40°C to +90°C, supporting use in broad environmental conditions when the overall system is designed within the converter's ratings.
How does the DCWN06A-12 compare with nearby DCWN models?
The DCWN06A-12 is the ±12V output member of the 6W 06A group. The DCWN06A-05 and DCWN06A-15 provide ±5V and ±15V outputs, while single-output models such as the SCWN06A-12 offer 12V output. The best choice depends on the required output voltage and power margin.
