Power adapter MEAN WELL SCW20A-15 20 W 15 V RoHS

The MEAN WELL SCW20A-15 is a compact DC-DC converter designed for PCB mounting with a DIP through-hole package. It accepts an input voltage range of 9–18 V DC and provides a regulated 15 V DC output with a maximum output current of 1.33 A, delivering up to 20 W of power. The module is RoHS compliant and intended for integration into electronic devices that require a stable 15 V supply.

Advantages

The SCW20A-15 offers stable regulation at 15 V with sufficient current for small to medium electronic loads while preserving board-level mounting convenience thanks to its DIP through-hole form factor. Its wide input range (9–18 V) allows use with different DC sources, and RoHS compliance ensures it meets common environmental and safety directives.

Suitable for

• Embedded systems and control boards requiring a 15 V supply
• Industrial and instrumentation modules with limited board space
• Prototyping and small-series electronics that use PCB-mounted power modules

How to use

Mount the SCW20A-15 into the PCB using the DIP through-hole pins, ensuring correct polarity for input and output connections. Apply a DC input within the specified 9–18 V range. Verify that the connected load does not exceed the maximum output current (1.33 A) or 20 W output power. Provide adequate PCB copper area or heatsinking if the module dissipates heat under continuous load.

Recommendations

Use appropriate input filtering and decoupling capacitors on the PCB nearby to improve stability and reduce conducted noise. Confirm thermal conditions on the board and avoid exceeding the rated output current; if necessary, derate the module or add heat dissipation measures.
