FAQ
What are the main output specifications of the Mean Well IRM-03-12?
The IRM-03-12 is a 3W encapsulated switching power supply with a regulated 12V DC output. Its rated output current is 250mA, making it suitable for low-power PCB-based equipment that needs a compact internal power source.
What input voltage range does the IRM-03-12 support?
This model supports a universal input range of 85 to 305VAC and 120 to 430VDC. That wide range helps it fit products intended for different mains environments without needing region-specific input versions.
What types of applications is the IRM-03-12 best suited for?
The IRM-03-12 is designed for compact embedded applications where space, low standby power, and board-level integration matter. It is a practical choice for OEM and industrial electronics that need a small enclosed AC-DC power module rather than a larger chassis-style supply.
Can the IRM-03-12 operate in demanding temperature conditions?
Yes, the specified working temperature range is -30°C to +85°C, subject to the output derating curve. That makes it a strong candidate for equipment exposed to a broad range of indoor or controlled industrial temperature conditions.
What protection and safety features are included in the IRM-03-12?
This model includes short circuit, overload, and over voltage protection, with overload behavior specified as hiccup mode with auto-recovery. It is also listed with isolation class II and references multiple safety and EMC standards, which supports use in professionally designed equipment.
How compact is the Mean Well IRM-03-12 compared with larger internal power supplies?
The IRM-03-12 is much smaller than conventional enclosed or open-frame power supplies, with a PCB mounting size of 37 x 24 x 15mm. Its encapsulated format is intended for space-constrained designs that need a low-power internal AC-DC module.
