Test conditions and notes9
  1. 1. All parameters NOT specially mentioned are measured at 230VAC input, rated load and 25℃ of ambient temperature.
  2. 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. 3. Tolerance: includes set up tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. (In order to meet tolerance, it is recommended that CH1 load > 20% rated current for B,C type and CH1 load > 15% rated current for D type.)
  4. 4. Line regulation is measured from low line to high line at rated load.
  5. 5. Load regulation is measured from 20% to 100% rated load, and other output at 60% rated load.
  6. 6. Each output can work within current range. But total output power can't exceed rated output power.
  7. 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. 8. Length of set up time is measured at cold first start. Turning ON/OFF the power supply very quickly may lead to increase of the set up time.
  9. 9. 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-85C for control or analog equipment that needs 5V logic with +/-15V rails?

Yes, the product name lists 5V, 15V, -5V, and -15V outputs, so it is built for multi-rail applications. Its main 5V output is rated at 7A and total power is 82.5W, giving it more 5V capacity than the 65W RQ-65C version.

Is the RQ-85C a fit for embedded systems that need higher 5V current along with positive and negative auxiliary rails?

It can be a fit when the design needs a stronger 5V rail plus auxiliary positive and negative rails in one supply. This model provides 5V at 7A with 82.5W total power, and the listed outputs also include 15V, -5V, and -15V.

Can the RQ-85C be used in industrial electronics where panel space and vibration resistance matter?

The unit measures 159.0 x 97.0 x 38.0 mm and weighs 0.6 kg, which keeps the form factor fairly compact for cabinet installations. Its listed features include miniature size and 5G vibration resistance, which is relevant for industrial electronics and automation hardware.

Is the RQ-85C suitable for outdoor use or hot enclosed equipment?

The operating temperature specification is -25 degrees C to +70 degrees C, so the thermal range supports demanding indoor environments. No IP rating is provided in the supplied data, so the specs do not confirm outdoor or washdown suitability.

What are the key spec differences between the RQ-85C and the other RQ models listed?

The series list includes RQ-50B at 45.5W and 5V 5A, RQ-50C at 50W and 5V 5A, RQ-50D at 53.4W and 5V 3A, RQ-65B at 62.5W and 5V 6A, RQ-65C at 65W and 5V 5A, RQ-65D at 68W and 5V 4A, RQ-85B at 80.7W and 5V 7A, RQ-85D at 84W and 5V 6A, RQ-125B at 120W and 5V 11A, RQ-125C at 122.5W and 5V 10A, and RQ-125D at 124W and 5V 8A. RQ-125ND is also listed as a sibling, but no detailed specs are supplied for it in the provided data.
