Test conditions and notes8
- 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
- 2. Ripple & noise are measured at 20MHz of bandwidth by using a 12" twisted pair-wire terminated with a 0.1μF & 47μF parallel capacitor.
- 3. Tolerance : includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation, when multi-channel output, it is recommended that CH1 load > 10%.
- 4. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
- 5. Load regulation is measured from 20% to 100% rated load, and other output at 60% rated load.
- 6. Each output can work within current range. But total output power can't exceed rated output power.
- 7. The power supply is considered a component which will be installed into a final equipment. All the EMC tests are been executed by mounting the unit on a 360mm*360mm metal plate with 1mm of thickness. The final equipment must be re-confirmed that it still meets 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 )
- 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).

FAQ
Can I use the RQ-65C for analog or control equipment that needs 5V logic and +/-15V rails?
Yes, this model is intended for multi-rail systems because the product name lists 5V, 15V, -5V, and -15V outputs. Its main 5V output is rated at 5A and the total power is 65W, which suits lower-power control or embedded assemblies that need those rail types together.
Is the RQ-65C a good fit for embedded test or measurement hardware with positive and negative auxiliary voltages?
It can fit embedded test or measurement hardware when the design calls for a 5V main rail plus positive and negative auxiliary rails, since this unit provides 15V, -5V, and -15V outputs alongside 5V. The total rated power is 65W, with 5V output current rated at 5A.
Can the RQ-65C be used in a small industrial cabinet with limited space?
This supply is sized for compact integration at 129.0 x 98.0 x 38.0 mm and weighs 0.44 kg. The features also call out miniature size and 5G vibration resistance, which aligns with tightly packed industrial or automation enclosures.
Can I use the RQ-65C in hot indoor equipment or outdoor enclosures?
The operating temperature range is specified as -25 degrees C to +70 degrees C, so the temperature rating supports demanding indoor conditions. No IP rating is listed in the provided specs, so the product data here does not confirm suitability for exposed outdoor, washdown, or weather-facing use.
What are the main differences between the RQ-65C and the other RQ series options listed here?
The RQ-65C is a 65W quad-output unit with 5V, 15V, -5V, and -15V rails. Other RQ-65 series models include the RQ-65B (5V, 12V, -5V, -12V) and the RQ-65D (5V, 12V, 24V, -12V). The RQ-65C is distinguished by its 15V and -15V auxiliary rails, whereas the B and D variants use 12V rails. All RQ-65 models share the same 65W rated power and form factor.
