Power adapter/inverter mean well SMU02L-15, input 4.5–5.5 V, output 15 V, 2 W

MEAN WELL SMU02L-15 is an unregulated DC-DC converter in a SIP package that converts a 4.5–5.5 V input to a single 15 V output with up to 2 W of power. The module provides 1500 VDC input-to-output isolation and is designed for low-power electronics, signal conversion and applications that require a stable higher voltage from a low-voltage source. The product complies with RoHS requirements.

Advantages

The SMU02L-15 offers compact size and SIP packaging suitable for space-constrained designs, galvanic isolation of 1500 VDC between input and output, and a straightforward single-output conversion from typical 5 V sources to 15 V. Its unregulated design keeps the component count low while delivering up to 2 W of output power for small modules and embedded devices.

Suitable for

• Powering sensors and transducers that need 15 V from a 5 V rail
• Small communication or control modules in embedded systems
• Signal conditioning circuits and analog front-ends requiring isolated supply
• Prototyping and development boards where space is limited

How to use

Connect the input pins to a stable 4.5–5.5 V supply and observe correct polarity. Place the converter on a compatible PCB footprint or socket designed for SIP packages and ensure adequate creepage and clearance for the 1500 VDC isolation rating. Load the output within the specified current limit (0.133 A) and provide necessary input filtering or decoupling per the system requirements. Because the converter is unregulated, expect output variation with input and load changes; verify the voltage under your operating conditions.

Recommendations

Use the SMU02L-15 in low-power, isolated applications where a lightweight, compact 15 V supply is required from a 5 V source. Avoid exceeding the rated output current and ensure PCB layout and insulation practices that respect the 1500 VDC isolation. If a tightly regulated output is needed, add external regulation or select a regulated converter.
