MEAN WELL RD-65A 65W kaksoislähtöinen AC/DC-virtalähde - 5V/8A + 12V/2,5A, 88-264VAC tulo, passiivinen jäähdytys, hopea

With a robust 65W total output across dual rails, the MEAN WELL RD-65A delivers 5V at 8A and 12V at 2.5A simultaneously, making it a workhorse for industrial control systems, automation, and LED signage. Its wide 88–264VAC input range and 47–63Hz frequency tolerance ensure reliable operation on virtually any mains supply worldwide, while passive cooling guarantees silent, maintenance-free performance.

Overview

The RD-65A is a compact, chassis-mount AC/DC power supply engineered for demanding embedded applications. It converts universal AC input into two isolated DC outputs with excellent regulation and low ripple. The unit is housed in a silver aluminium enclosure that doubles as a heatsink, dissipating heat efficiently without a fan. Protection features include overload, overvoltage, and short-circuit safeguards, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh environments.
