MEAN WELL SLC03B-05 electric converter 3 W 18-36 V 600 mA

The MEAN WELL SLC03B-05 electric converter is a compact DC–DC power module delivering 3 W of output power. Designed for systems with a DC input between 18 V and 36 V, it provides a regulated output current of 600 mA. With small physical dimensions — 13.8 mm wide, 22.1 mm deep and 8.55 mm high — the unit is intended for applications where board space and enclosure volume are limited. The converter is suitable for integration into industrial control, instrumentation and embedded systems that require a reliable low‑power DC–DC stage.

Advantages

The module’s small form factor allows installation in compact assemblies and tight enclosures. Its wide input voltage range supports common 24 V and 36 V vehicle and industrial power rails without additional conditioning. The fixed 600 mA output simplifies design by providing a stable current source for compatible loads. Mechanical dimensions and lightweight construction ease placement on PCBs or within modular power chains.

Suitable for

• Embedded and single‑board systems requiring a low‑power DC–DC converter
• Industrial control modules and automation equipment
• Telecom and network devices with constrained board area
• Battery‑powered systems operating from 18–36 V packs
• Sensors, transceivers and signal conditioning circuits needing a regulated 600 mA supply

Key specifications

How to use

Provide a stable DC input within the specified 18–36 V range and observe correct polarity. Mount the converter on a PCB or within the enclosure according to the mechanical dimensions to ensure adequate clearance. Connect the load to the converter output ensuring that the required current does not exceed 600 mA. Verify thermal conditions during initial testing — allow airflow or heatsinking as needed if the installation environment limits heat dissipation. Follow standard safety practices for DC power connections and grounding when integrating the module into larger systems.
