Voeding MEAN WELL SKMW20F-15 20W 15V RoHS

The MEAN WELL SKMW20F-15 is a compact DC-DC converter designed for PCB mounting. It accepts a wide input range of 9–36 VDC and provides a single regulated 15 VDC output at up to 1.33 A (20 W). The module comes in a DIP through-hole package with a 1" x 1" ultra-compact footprint and includes a remote ON/OFF control. The unit is RoHS compliant and weighs approximately 18 g, making it suitable for space-constrained electronic designs that require a stable 15 V supply.

Advantages

The SKMW20F-15 offers a wide input voltage range, compact 1" x 1" PCB-mount package, and a regulated 15 V output capable of delivering up to 1.33 A. Its DIP through-hole format eases soldering and mechanical mounting on printed circuit boards, while the remote ON/OFF feature provides convenient power control. RoHS compliance ensures the converter meets environmental directive requirements.

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.
