Test conditions and notes9
- 1. All parameters are specified at 230VAC input, rated load, 25℃ 70% RH ambient.
- 2. DC voltage: The output voltage set at point measure by plug terminal & 50% load.
- 3. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz by using a 12" twisted pair terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF capacitor.
- 4. Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation, load regulation.
- 5. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
- 6. Length of set up time is measured at first cold start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply may lead to increase of the set up time.
- 7. Derating may be needed under low input voltage. Please check the derating curve for more details.
- 8. 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).
- 9. The power supply is considered as an independent unit, but the final equipment still need to re-confirm that the whole system complies with the 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 )

FAQ
What are the main output specifications of the Mean Well GST160A20-R7B?
The GST160A20-R7B is a 160W desktop AC-DC power supply with a 20V DC output. It is rated for 8A output current. This model is designed as a higher-power external adaptor for equipment that requires a regulated 20V supply within that power range.
What output plug does the GST160A20-R7B use?
This model uses the R7B standard DC plug, a 4-pin locking DIN-type connector (KYCON KPPX-4P equivalent). That plug style matters for compatibility, so the receiving device must match the same connector format. Buyers should confirm the equipment is designed for a 20V DC supply with this specific locking plug type.
What kind of equipment is this power supply typically used for?
The GST160A20-R7B is typically suited to business and industrial equipment that needs a 20V, 8A external desktop power adaptor. Its 160W rating and locking 4-pin DIN connector make it more appropriate for dedicated equipment use than for general consumer charging. It is best matched to devices that specifically call for this voltage, current capacity, and plug style.
Can the GST160A20-R7B operate in demanding temperature conditions?
Yes. Mean Well specifies an operating temperature range of -30°C to +70°C for this model, with load derating at higher temperatures per the derating curve. That wide range makes it suitable for applications exposed to colder or warmer environments, provided the overall system design remains within the product's rated conditions.
What protection features are included in the GST160A20-R7B?
This model includes overload, over voltage, and over temperature protection. Overload and over voltage protection operate in hiccup mode, while over temperature protection shuts down the output and requires re-powering to recover. These built-in protections help support equipment safety and power supply reliability in fault conditions.
What distinguishes the GST160A20-R7B from lower-power desktop adaptors?
The main differentiators are its 160W output capacity, 20V/8A rating, and locking 4-pin DIN connector. It also offers a high power factor (PF>0.94 at 230VAC, PF>0.98 at 115VAC), 93% typical efficiency, and an IEC320-C14 AC inlet with earth (FG) connection. Compared with simpler low-power adaptors, this model is intended for more demanding equipment and compliance-focused applications.
What input range and efficiency-related features does this power supply have?
The GST160A20-R7B accepts a universal input range of 85 to 264VAC or 120 to 370VDC. Its typical efficiency is 93% at 230VAC and rated load, with a typical power factor above 0.94 at 230VAC and above 0.98 at 115VAC at full load. Derating may be needed at low input voltage.
