Description

NSD15-12D12 — Isolated dual-output DC/DC converter

MEAN WELL NSD15-12D12 is a regulated dual-output DC/DC converter in the NSD15-D series, with a 9.4–36 V DC input range. It provides simultaneous +12 V and −12 V rails relative to COMMON, rated at 0.62 A per rail and 14.88 W total. This selection focuses on the negative −12 V rail; the module retains both outputs. Built-in remote ON/OFF control and free-air convection cooling support integration into equipment; observe the load, input and temperature limits below.

Model section: datasheet PDF pages 9–10. Use the complete model specifications and connection drawing for this output selection.

Output selection

Selected output rail	Negative rail: −12 V
Output configuration	Simultaneous +12 V and −12 V outputs relative to COMMON; both rails belong to one physical converter.
Rated output current	0.62 A per rail (+12 V and −12 V).
Output current range	0.03–0.62 A on each rail. Maintain the stated minimum load on both outputs.
Rated output power	14.88 W total across both rails; this is not a separate 14.88 W allowance for each rail.
Series capability reference	The 15 W NSD15-D family is described as having a wide 4:1 DC input range. The exact input range and rated output power of this model are stated above; the series description does not enlarge those limits.

Electrical specifications

Rated DC input	12 V DC.
Input voltage range	9.4–36 V DC.
Input DC current	1.8 A at 12 V DC.
Shutdown idle current	20 mA; the general measurement conditions apply unless otherwise specified.
Efficiency	80% typical.
Capacitive load	1000 µF maximum per rail (catalog notation ±1000 µF).
Ripple and noise	100 mVp-p maximum at 25%–100% load.
Voltage tolerance	±2.5%. Includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation.
Line regulation	±1.0% at 10%–100% load.
Load regulation	±1.0%.
Setup time	100 ms at rated DC input and full load.

Control, connections and protection

Pin assignment	Pin 1: +VIN; pin 2: −VIN; position 3: no pin; pin 4: CONTROL; pin 5: +VOUT; pin 6: COMMON; pin 7: −VOUT; pin 8: TRIM.
Remote ON/OFF control	CONTROL input is pin 4, referenced to pin 2 (−VIN). CMOS or open-collector TTL compatible. ON: +5.5 V DC minimum or open circuit. OFF: +2.5 V DC maximum or short CONTROL to pin 2.
Overload protection	Above 105% of rated output power; over-power limiting with automatic recovery after the fault is removed.
Overvoltage clamp	Positive rail: 13.8–18 V; negative rail: −13.8 to −18 V, as listed in the corresponding rail columns.
Short-circuit protection	Automatic recovery after the fault is removed. Short-circuit duration must not exceed 60 seconds.
Output trim range	±5.0% typical.
Output trim connection	Use the 0–100 kΩ trimpot arrangements shown in the datasheet: UP between TRIM (pin 8) and −VOUT (pin 7); DOWN between TRIM (pin 8) and +VOUT (pin 5). Observe this model’s typical adjustment range.

Operating conditions

Cooling and load derating	Free-air convection; horizontal installation. The curve shows 100% load from −25°C through +60°C, and 75% at +70°C. Follow the curve between marked points; the operating range ends at +70°C.
Environment	Working temperature: −25 to +70°C with derating. Working humidity: 0%–95% RH maximum. Storage: −40 to +85°C, 0%–95% RH.
Temperature coefficient	±0.03%/°C over 0 to +50°C.
High-altitude derating	Above 2000 m, reduce the applicable ambient-temperature limit by 3.5°C per 1000 m for this fanless converter.
General measurement conditions	Unless specifically stated otherwise, parameters are measured at 12 V DC input, rated load and +25°C ambient.
Ripple measurement	20 MHz bandwidth; a 12-inch twisted-pair wire terminated with 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors connected in parallel.

Safety and EMC integration

Safety standards	UL62368-1 and EAC TP TC 004 approved. BS EN/EN62368-1 is identified as a design reference.
Input/output isolation	1500 V DC.
Isolation resistance	100 MΩ between input and output, measured at 500 V DC, +25°C and 70% RH.
EMC emission	Compliance with BS EN/EN55032 (CISPR32) Class B and EAC TP TC 020, subject to the stated component test arrangement and final-equipment verification.
EMC immunity	Compliance with BS EN/EN61000-4-2, -3, -4, -6 and -8; BS EN/EN55035, light-industry level; EAC TP TC 020.
EMC test arrangement	The manufacturer tested the converter as a component mounted on a 230 × 230 × 1 mm metal plate. Reconfirm EMC compliance in the final equipment; the test plate is not stated to be a supplied accessory.
Suggested EMC input filter	The input filter drawing shows 80 µH inductive filtering and a polarized 680 µF capacitor across the converter input, on the converter side of the inductive elements. Select component ratings for the actual input range and verify the finished equipment.

Final-equipment EMC verification

Complete-system EMC verification	Verify EMC with the converter installed in the final equipment and connected to a representative load. Wiring, assembly and the application affect the result. Follow the model's specified EMC test conditions and any required external components; the linked EMI testing guidance does not certify the finished equipment.
