Power Adapter MEAN WELL DKM10B-12 10W 12V Input 18-36V

The MEAN WELL DKM10B-12 is a compact DC-DC converter designed for PCB through-hole mounting. It accepts an input voltage range of 18–36 VDC and provides a stable 12 V output at up to 10 W total power. The module comes in a DIP through-hole package approximately 1" x 1" and is lightweight (about 18 g), making it suitable for space-constrained electronic designs that require a reliable isolated power stage.

Advantages

The DKM10B-12 offers a wide input range, compact 1" x 1" footprint and DIP through-hole form factor for easy PCB mounting. It provides regulated 12 V output with up to 10 W power and meets RoHS requirements. Its small size and light weight simplify integration into embedded systems, industrial control boards, and other applications where board-mounted DC-DC conversion is needed.

Suitable for

• Embedded electronics and single-board systems
• Industrial control and automation modules
• Communication devices and instrumentation
• Space-constrained power supply solutions on PCBs

How to use

Mount the DKM10B-12 into the PCB using the DIP through-hole pins and solder according to the board layout and manufacturer pinout. Apply a DC input within the specified 18–36 V range to the input pins, and take the regulated 12 V output from the designated output pins. Observe standard PCB layout practices for power modules, including adequate copper area for grounding and clearance for heat dissipation. Verify polarity and connections before powering the board.

Recommendations

Ensure the input voltage remains within 18–36 VDC and that the module is not operated beyond its 10 W rating. Provide sufficient ventilation or copper area on the PCB for thermal dissipation, and follow the manufacturer's datasheet for pinout, derating curves, and any necessary input/output filtering to maintain stable operation.
