How to use

Mount the SKMW20F-15 into the PCB via its DIP through-hole pins and solder firmly to ensure reliable electrical and mechanical connection. Apply a DC input voltage within 9–36 VDC to the input pins, and take the regulated 15 VDC from the output pins, observing correct polarity. Use the remote ON/OFF pin according to the manufacturer’s wiring note to enable or disable the output as required. Allow adequate PCB copper area or thermal management if operating near full load.

Recommendations

Use appropriate input filtering and decoupling capacitors on the PCB close to the converter pins, observe the specified input voltage range, and ensure adequate spacing and airflow around the module. For reliable long-term operation, avoid continuous operation at maximum rated current without proper thermal considerations.
